If you're using an LPG ring or cooker, it could be that the gas / air mix is incorrect, and this causes sooting by way of yellow flames and / or yellow tipped blue flames. If this is the case, it might be worth checking the adjustment of the gas air mixture shutter / collar / screw and twisting this until you get a totally blue flame. This usually solves the problems. LPG butane and propane gas needs significantly more air to burn cleanly.
I've found a bunch of thick carbonized junk in my burners, which was causing soot-up on my kettle. I'm not sure if it was the result of several boilovers, or something left over from the casting process. Broke it up with a coat hanger wire, cleaned them out, and they're burning clean again. One was a banjo burner, the other was a jet burner.
Thanks for the tip BUT... HOW do you CLEAN the BURNER that has ACCUMULATED SOOT INSIDE of it? If you don't clean the burner, the adjustment will still produce black soot. Should I blow it out with compressed air - dip the burner head in a light mix of muriatic acid - dip it in another chemical? I'm trying to not have to buy another head because most will have to be retrofit or modified into an older unit. Thanks in advance.
I usually had the garage doors open when I brewed. But since this was just a few minutes, i didn't. Several guys i knew in Wisconsin did the same thing. Also know guys with full propane setups inside their house, but that's a whole other level of ventilation required.
Just found your video published 5 years ago & still affective ...my issue solved in less then a min....thank you
Omg dude the music is freaking me out 😳🤣
Thank you for the help 💚

I have 2 of the banjo's and you are right, they carry a pretty clean flame. The ole turkey burner was tough to clean up. Nice tip. Cheers!
Good tips brother. Keep 'me rolling. I've just bought a banjo style burner so this was perfect timing to help me dial in the mix. Cheers!
You read my mind...exactly what I was searching for. Thanks for that!!
I'm glad it helped. I had a friend with a burner that was crazy with how much soot he had to clean every time he brewed.
Thank you! I was just ignoring it since I brew outside. Seems like it probably wastes a little fuel as well if it's not all burning..
Probably some waste, and it’s an easy fix if you can adjust the air mix. But some burners don’t have the option.

That’s a good thing to know, as well. Thanks for the tip.
Thanks for publishing this video. Good job! 👍👍🇱🇷 Keep on cooking.
Thank you couldn't figure out why mine was burning yellow.
+Eric Salazar, glad I could help.
Thank you 😊
The music blasted my eardrums by the end. Thanks for the vid though.
When you make that adjustment, does that increase the temperature?

Glad it helped!
Great video, the music is extremely distracting tho
Thank you!!!!
Nice tip, thanks!
Good video
Thankyou
watch in 1.5 speed for normal playback speed
🤣 - I know I talk kind of slow.
I love the information, but that music is distracting af.
Thank you sir!
hihihi... he's speaking with the garage door as his background.
Yep, and it looks like he's risking carbon monoxide poisoning.
Good info I think n trying to hear past the music
AWESOME
Thanks. I'm glad you found it useful. Cheers!
Who bun propane indoors? Cracked.

s my friend , A good tip cheers
+Strat Beer Thanks, Strat! Fortunately, your Grainfather doesn't have this problem, huh?
no , but I still have to learn
These shitty LoCo brand do not have the adjustment. I am going to switch to electric in the future.
cool
thanks for the tip, but this could have been about 3 minutes shorter lol
Lose the music
