Gas cooker

[lloydy]

I'm kinda a expert.. once you drill the jets all bets are off, anything could happen.. normally just a massive yellow flame

But when throttled down to "almost off" they do tend to go a bit yellow dont they?

Aye, which is why I said :-

Surely If you drilled the gas jets larger, as you have, and now too much gas is coming out, that would make it burn rich, with a yellowy flame (not white [as yours is]) because of too little oxygen [in the current mix]?

AlandAnn's original issue and subsequent results after the "modification" are a tad confusing.

[Smcknighty]

Possibly he closed and sealed the room far too well to keep the heat in after the getting the gas warm suggestion? This would eventually result in a white flame due to lack of oxygen?

If it was a brand new set - should have taken it back.

I bought a 'cheap one', absolute beggar to light but when it did it had yellow flames about a foot high!
Took it back, he offered to exchange but I thought better take cash

YOU'RE all a bit unforgiving on this forum One little mistake and whoosh all the Hero's come out with the Darwinian "pooh".

Remember, Everyday's a school day, not everyone knows everything.

One more little mistake like that with gas and you could well be not posting this sort of thing here again!

[lloydy]

Maybe just ask next time, before breaking the drill out...

If you think that's bad, best I don't spin any dits about my other escapades with a number 5 cookset at the top of a block of flats.

[AlandAnn]

back to my original question, can anyone tell me where I can get new jets for my two ring burner before I do something that I might regret ?

[Oldiebut goodie]

Manufacturer? Good starting point.

[lloydy]

You will have to go back to the manufacturer, jets are sized to very exact measurements, to produce the correct flame and output for that appliance. If it's a cheap hob, chances are you wont get spare parts and will just have to buy another.

[AlandAnn]

Thanks, unfortunately I don't have any details on the cooker. Guess I'll just have to buy a new one.

Ta muchly.
