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

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

Aye, which is why I said :-lloydy wrote:I'm kinda a expert.. once you drill the jets all bets are off, anything could happen.. normally just a massive yellow flame

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

Re: Gas cooker
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?

Re: Gas cooker
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

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

Re: Gas cooker
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.

Re: Gas cooker
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 ?

Re: Gas cooker
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.

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