The flame of a Bunsen burner can potentially reach up to 1100-1200 degrees Celsius.
On the bottom of the burner there is a ring which open and closes the way of oxygen from air to the gas. When the ring is open the oxygen flows to the gas and the flame becomes blue ( this is hotter flame :) if you close the ring the burning will be without oxygen and the flame will by yellow-red ( this one is cooler ). So the temp. of the Bunsen burner depends on the ring.
If i remember correcty the tip of the blue flame is the hottest ( i think but not sure 1600 degrees Celsius).
