I've seen this done successfully, but for some reason i'm getting a very dirty yellow flame. I'm using a burner exactly like this one :http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0009JXYT6/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 with a pre-made natural gas orifice (http://www.brewershardware.com/Valve-and-NG-Orifice-for-BURN10-BURNVALVENAT.html). The BG-12 has a 1/8" NPT input so I also had to tack on a converter like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BOAA6O/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20
Trouble is, the flame is really big and very yellow (clearly burning in a very oxygen starved manner and probably making lots of nice carbon monoxide). The burner seems to have the same venturi style air shutter and it doesn't matter where i set it, or even removing it doesn't seem to help. However, I know it's an air supply problem b/c if I take a small tube and insert it into the air shutter opening and blow air into it, I can get a nice pure blue flame while i'm blowing air.
Is there anything I can do to fix the issue? I'd rather avoid getting a different burner or an aquarium air pump or something if at all possible....
Could the issue be that I had to add an adapter? I'm not sure if I've messed up the air uptake dynamics by recessing the natural gas orifice back a bit farther than intended, but if so maybe i can get an extension for the little orifice nipple or something.... Any advice is greatly appreciated...
