    Thank you! I checked the tube, which was not clogged. I then removed the hose like you said and reconnected it. And low and behold! Blue flame! Thank you so much! You know your stuff!

    Thanks - this video saved me a call to Camp Chef customer service about 1 of the 6 burners on my new FTG900, which was shooting out 6" high yellow flame, versus nice blue flame like the other 5 burners. Turns out the screw that holds thee air vent in place was not tightened down, and it had rotated to block all the air coming into the burner. Problem solved 1 minute after finding this video!

    The video does not show how to take the burner off the stove to wash it. It cuts directly to hosing down an already disconnected burner. I couldn't find any instructions anywhere how to remove the burner for cleaning.

    • @bluemntceltic2
      @bluemntceltic2 Před měsícem

      Same issue, there is not an intuitive way to access the burner without disassembly the whole dang stove.

  • @anthonyperkins7556
    @anthonyperkins7556 Před 3 lety +2

    It could be that the gas-air mixture is set too rich, and in that event, the gas-air mixture is out of kilter i.e yellow flames or blue flames with large yellow tips causing sooting to pans and utensils.
    Flames should be blue with no yellowing on butane 28-30mbar pressure and propane 37mbar pressure.
    However, on BBQ's, plus cooker grill and oven burners run on butane, it is not uncommon to see very slight yellow tips at the top of the flame on ignition slightly increasing as the burner warms up. Cooker top flames should be blue in colour.
    Propane produces flames which are largely blue / green in colour on all burners.
    Modern gas appliances set to run on LPG are usually pre-set for aeration at the factory and no adjustment is possible or necessary.
    Appliances which come with LPG gas jets separately should have the LPG jets installed properly and set for line pressure / aeration etc before connecting to a gas cylinder.

    I tried this to fix the low flow mode , didn't work . replaced the regulator now works like all my other camp chef stoves . between my two flat tops , deep fryer and grilling box there is nothing i cant cook in my yard that I can cook at the restaurant . Camp Chef is the key to being the king of the street BBQ and the god of camp cooking . From a cook , Camp Chef is equal in performance outdoors as pro gear at work .

    I have one problem. I am not sure what I did wrong. After I change my propane, the flame is not strong when I tried to turn on both. I did play around how you tried to make the flame blue, still doesn’t work. Can you please help

  • @joeviggiani7471

    I just bought the Sidekick and have used it about three times. I cannot get the flame to ignite and have been forced to use a manual lighter. What could I be doing wrong?

    • @campchef
      @campchef  Před 3 lety

      Hi Joe, Sometimes the Piezo ignitor just needs to be adjusted closer to the gas ports. Try pushing it a little closer to the burner and see if that fixes it. If not our customer service will be able to help you out. call 1(800)650-2433, or shoot them an email at support@campchef.com.

    • @deanherbig9178
      @deanherbig9178 Před 3 lety

      doesn't matter , sometimes you have to readjust when changing temps . caution the vent handle may be very hot use good cooking gloves or tongs to be safe .

    Yellow Flame=carburizing=Insufficient oxygen = Cold Flame & Soot Not enough oxyge = Wasted Fuel
    Blue Flame = neutral flame= sufficient oxygen = Hot Flame no soot sufficient oxygen = No Fuel Waste
