After 3 pages without a concreate answer I will just give you my experience. A while back my burner was giving me problems because the slots were rusting out and the flame was flickering. I made a slide mechanism to adjust the air to fuel ratio like on a water heater, because I could not get a direct replacement burner for it due to its age. I noticed when I camped at higher altitudes I would have to slide the mechanism over to allow more air and maintain a blue non flickering flame. When researching burners I noticed some burners had more slots than others. So I would look at modifying or buying a tube with either more slots or slightly larger input holes for the air to enter the tube. I would not change the orifice. You can put a screw driver tip over the slot to see how the flame changes in color to see what I am describing.
