Burner Flame Characteristics
The flames of the grill burners and side burners (on some models)
should be blue and stable with no excessive noise or lifting (LP
gas flames will have a slightly yellow tip). A yellow flame indicates
not enough air. If flame is noisy or lifts away from the burner, there
is too much air. Some yellow tips on flames when the burner is
set to HI setting are acceptable as long as no carbon or soot
deposits appear.
Check that burners are not blocked by dirt, debris, insect nests,
etc. and clean as necessary. If they are clean, adjust air shutters
as needed.
IMPORTANT: Before adjusting air shutters, let burners cool
completely.
To Adjust:
1. Light grill using information in the "Outdoor Grill Use" section.
2. Observe flame to determine which burners need adjustment
