What's the fridge flame supposed to look like ?
Here's mine: I don't think it should look like this. I haven't had it out yet but the visible top is clean and I just gave it a compressor blowout with no improvement.

By moving the blade of the screwdriver over the slots you are essentially creating a slider. If it stops the flicker/backfire the problem is probably the burner assuming the orifice is good and pressure. Just to further clarify when I was having this problem when mine would backfire it would come out those holes, only when it backfired not all the time.
Gjac: I've had the same problem getting fine debris, in my case likely salt, just inside the burner and that will cause the flame to yellow up, AND pre-detonate the LP in the chamber. That causes it to backfire. The first time that happened I cleaned and scraped, blew it out, and never did get it where I wanted it to be. Its amazing the tolerances on these things. I might build a little mix slider, but at sea level shouldn't have to.
Chris: I'll look at that too, but to be clearer, the flame isn't going out above the burner, its igniting within it and I observe flame coming out the 4 air vents. When that happens there is no reignation spark because the flame never went out. Strange eh?
