For the last month i have noticed the the flame on the side burner has a yellow flame. How do you adjust the flame? I have tried adjusting the air flow in either direction but the flame still comes out yellow.
SOURCE: How do I adjust the flame to burn hotter or more.
There are adjustment screw at the end of the burner tubes that allow more or less air to enter the burners. try opening or closing these screws
SOURCE: Yellow flame from all carryover tubes. This grill is brand new
if the unit is running on natural gas, this is not unusual. if running off propane tank something is wrong with the regulator
SOURCE: low flame on burner...
Remove the burner and check the flexible tubes for kinks or blockages. The flexible tubes usually just slip over the backs of the valves. Spiders love to get in there and block them. Also check that the holes in the burners are not clogged. Be careful when reseating the flexible tubes to be sure that they are properly seated on the back of the valves. Failure to properly seat the flexible tubes can cause leakage there, and the gas can ignite at the back of the valves and not reach the burner. Be certain that the replacement burner is designed to use with your grill and the flexible tubes mate properly with the back of the valves.
I had this problem with a brand new grill so it wasn't grease in the hose. Due to the new propane regulators you have to turn the propane tank on for at least a minute before turning the grill to light. Let the tank sit in the light position for five seconds and then you light the grill. This will keep air from getting into the intake hose and will keep your gas flame roaring high.
I was only able to get the grill up to 250 degrees before I found this fix posted on the Weber site. It is listed as the number one solution in the FAQ section.
SOURCE: bbq burner flame too high
If you got water down inside the burner(s), this condition should eventually clear up.
