Re: Gas cooker
Sorry for the late reply,
I drilled a bigger hole in the jets under the ring, my drill bit was big so it let's a lot of gas through and burns white ( too much oxygen ) the Mrs won't use it on her own so I now need to source new jets.

Re: Gas cooker
Hang on folks, aren’t you all missing something.
If after drilling the gas jets out, it is burning lean (white hot flame) then there certainly must be summat wrong further "up-stream".
Surely If you drilled the gas jets larger, as you say, and now too much gas is coming out, that would make it burn rich, with a yellowy flame (not white) because of too little oxygen?AlandAnn wrote:I drilled a bigger hole in the jets under the ring, my drill bit was big so it let's a lot of gas through and burns white (too much oxygen )

Re: Gas cooker
You won't get a white flame running lean, white/yellow flames (like a candle) are caused by the glow of tiny soot particles which are heated to incandescence and imply not enough oxygen for complete combustion.

Re: Gas cooker
To confirm my thoughts on this I looked at this =
And in conjunction with that:-
I am in no way an expert on this though, just going on my "rough knowledge"
And in conjunction with that:-
Flame is white-blue and has hard, sharp features. Possible Cause = Excessive primary air.
Flame is small and blue in colour. Possible Cause = Clogged burner orifice / Clogged venturi / Restricted or clogged gas line / Low gas pressure.
Flame is yellow. Possible Cause = Insufficient primary air / Blocked primary air shutter / Oversized burner orifice.
