Smokey gas burner
The first time I used my 3 ring gass burner I had smoke filling my back yard and every subsequent time I used it it would smoke a little but still leave a thick layer of soot on the bottom of my boiler. I figure that the smoke is caused by the paint burning off the burner.
I noticed from his pictures that Scarecrow uses the same model burner as I do and he uses his indoors.
Does anyone know how I can stop it from smoking so much? My wife complains about the noxious fumes; I suggested she stop breathing but that got me in even more trouble

Re: Smokey gas burner
What color are the flames? Are the air dampers open? How far away from the burner is the pot?

Re: Smokey gas burner
The flames are orange and the dampeners are almost closed

Now I feel like a complete spaz; Any year 7 science student could have told me the answer. Open the sleeve on a bunson burner and the flame goes blue and gets hotter.

Re: Smokey gas burner
Just remember that spiderwebs inside burner tube can cause that also.

Re: Smokey gas burner
Sounds like you will be cooking with a clean fire now.
+1 on the spider webs. I don't know what attracts them damn things in there. But every year when I go to fry my turkey. I have to clean mine out. I hate spiders.

Re: Smokey gas burner
You may also get better results if the boiler isn't right on top of the burner.
Raise it up a bit and there will be no or less burning.
Also that allows more air/oxygen

Re: Smokey gas burner
I have the keg sitting on a stack of bricks so it's about 15 cm away. I'm stripping my combo all-bran/ special k/ cornflake wash right now. I've opened the dampen era and she's running like a dream now. I don't have any issues with the wind blowing my flame either now that the blue jets are heating and It's running more efficiently.
This strip run is pushing out a much cleaner product than the straight all-bran so far.

Re: Smokey gas burner
Hope you like the all bran with corn flakes better then I did. I love all bran but didn't like it when I added corn flakes.
Good to hear the burners working good.

Re: Smokey gas burner
Yeah, so that soot on your pot. That black powder thats just waiting to stain everything that comes within a 15 foot radius?
Use oil to clean it. I use pam or whatever type of spray can oil you have. spray a little on the soot and It will wipe away with a paper towel. An oily towel will do it too, but the pam really does the trick.

I can't believe I didn't think of it sooner. I've made some apple pie with the spoils for our going away get togethers over the next couple of weeks.
