I hijacked an old thread but didn't get any response so I'm posting a new thread.
I've set up my brew stand with with 2 BG-14 burners on low pressure propane. I'm using a 2 stage regulator a 5/8" LP hose from the reg to the stand where it's 1/2" BIP to the burners. I've got flexible 1/2" supply lines between the BIP and the burners. I've got some of those sweet little low pressure valves from homebrewstuff.com that screw directly into the burners.
My problem is with only one burner. It produces a very yellow flame unless the valve is turned pretty low. The other is fine. There is a shorter run of BIP to the "good" burner but only by 18 inches. On "high" I can actually get a decent flame if I blow into the air intake manifold. I've pulled the fittings apart and there is no obstruction. I'm not getting much of a soot problem, just the heart output seems low.
Is this a case for experimentally soldering the aperture and redrilling to find the right hole size, or should I be looking at the height of the space between the burner and the bottom of the kettle? Or something else.
