Hi Guys,
I bought a new propane burner, but I have some questions about the device. The burner has this "opening" where gas flows into (from the valve), and passes through the tube of the burner to the flame end. This metal clamp-thingy has a screw (see picture). Is this a chamber where air is mixed with the propane? Should this be open (like in the picture), or closed? It came open.
Also when igniting the burner, I saw a "backfire": a flame travelling the burner back to this "chamber" (under very low gas flow rates). Is this expected and correct behavior?
Thanks!
