You would have to close the collar instead of opening it. This will produce a yellow flame. But it is not suitable for heating. Only a blue flame is suitable for heating as it is much hotter than a yellow flame.

M.F. - The yellow smoky flame is the lack of Oxygen (O2) mixing with the Hydrocarbon methane (CH4)

The blue flame that you are referring to( or the medium flame or the invisible flame) is difficult to see in a well-lit room. It is the most commonly used flame. It is approximately 500°C. Or maybe you could be talking about the very tip of the flame that could sometimes be blue. that, is like the hottest flame at around 1500 degrees Celsius.
