The small inner cone should have a very
distinct blue flame 1/4" (6 mm) to 1/2"
(13 mm) long. The outer cone is not as
distinct as the inner cone. L.P . gas flames
may have a slightly yellow tip. If the
flame is noisy or blowing, it is getting
too much air. If the flame is soft and lazy,
it is not getting enough air.
