Ok; my flame doesn't look like that. It looks like the small, bright flames in the picture but doesn't create a plume of blue flame. Next thing is to check the pressure and make sure we are getting the propane necessary.
Thanks for an informative pic!
the orfice for the propane is very very small. easy for any spec if dust, spider web etc. to partially plug it. It happens, has been an issue for me on occasion. Solution is to remove the gas jet, clean it out with a welding tip cleaner of appropriate size and blow the tube out to get any dust, debris, rust etc out as well. and do the same around the flue. Then try again.
Dirty orifice would NOT allow that good of a flame.
Dirty orifice would disrupt gas flow which would NOT provide enough air mixture and flame would be very yellow
That flame is from LOW LP SYSTEM Pressure
