Flare-ups:
Normal: Soft blue flames with yellow tips
between I inch - 2 inches high.
"Flare-ups" sometimes occur when food
drippings fall onto the hot heat plate or burner and ignite. Some flaring is normal and desirable as it helps impart the unique
flavors associated with grilled foods. Controlling the intensity of the flare-ups is necessary, however, in order to avoid burned
or unevenly cooked foods and to prevent the possibility of accidental fire.
