Flame Color Matters
For those of you who have a gas stove weather its natural gas or liquid propane, it’s important to know the correct flame color.
A gas flame should burn blue. This means that the combustion process is working as it should and oxygen is reacting with the gas in a safe way. Occasionally, there may be a little yellow in the flame, but as long as it’s mainly blue, we are good!
Have you ever heard a popping sound when lighting your stove? This could indicate that there is some debris present in combustion process, and this can cause the flame to have some yellow and orange color. Once the debris has burned off, your flame should return back to blue.
When the flame is continuously burning yellow and orange it means there is an issue, and the combustion is not safe. This causes carbon monoxide. If this is happening with your stove, make sure to call Craig Johnson Plumbing and we will come help before a serious issue occurs.
