Believe it or not, on a very small scale you're not making it hotter. The yellow red or orange flames are actually cooler than those that are blue. As the burning gas travels through the air, it cools down and changes color.


If your oven uses the same gas supply as your stove, the problem may be that having both the oven and the stove on at the same time weakens the gas flow, weakening the flame. Water douses fire, so it changes to orange as the flame weakens.
This is not a major problem, nothing is wrong with your stove.

How do people extinguish oil spill fires in the ocean?

In oil removal operations where oil is to be burned of it is necessary to sink ceramic balls into the oil to float on the water to insulate the oil from the cold. If an oil spill were to ignite and this was not desirable fire boats could spray water mist onto the flame base to cool the oil and douse the fire. More likely the fire. would be allowed to burn itaelf out
