Best Answer

In order to have a proper blue flame the air valve must be opened enough to allow enough oxygen to enter during the combustion process. Be aware that too much oxygen will not allow the gas to ignite and too little oxygen is noticed by a yellow flame caused by incomplete combustion and the burning of carbon.
