Good thoughts. Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I went back out to investigate further the little vent holes I'd noticed next to the burner knobs. I suspected they were air intake vents and used a high pressure air can to blow them out. That did the trick. Thanks.

When I remove the burner plate (which splits the gas flow), and light it, the flame is entirely different and less than the one on the right. Is it dirty or clogged? An air mixture issue? I do not know how to further disassemble this. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks for all the help I'm getting on this list. I really appreciate the time folks are taking to answer my and other's questions. Paul in Colorado |
