Suburban Stove
Our suburban SRS range has one burner that has quite a bit of orange flame when it is set to high. I have searched this and can’t find much on it other than a few posts that claim as long as it is only the top 1/3 of the flame that is orange when on full and burns blue when set to 1/2 or less it is normal, which it is and does, but only one burner does it. It does not soot the bottoms of our pans, just not used to seeing this.
There are no air shutters like there was on the old propane stoves I am used to for adjustment and nothing about any adjustment or mention in the owners manual.
What say you? Normal?

I don't know why this caught my interest, but it did. I noticed from your picture the flame with the issue is a much higher flame than the other two burning only blue. Went to our home stove (NG not LPG) and verified the higher I turn burners the more orange tips I get. Based on this I would say the reason is not with the air mixture but more with the amount of gas the valve is releasing to that burner. All individual burner valves must not be created equal. (Imagine that in the RV industry) I don't think you have an issue.

I have the same situation with my stove and gave up trying to fix it. My propane stove at home does not have any yellow flame. I have read that the front burner has a higher BTU output, more propane flow. It leaves a lot of soot on the burner and even on pots/pans due to poor air/propane mixture and is inefficient. My air adjustment has no more room for adjustment so…. I gave up and live with it.

Thanks for the replies. I’ll live with it, just seemed odd that the other two burn clean. We’ll use the rear burners when we need high heat.

You will get the same heat out of the front burner if you only turn it up as high as the two rear burners.

They are all actually turned up all the way in my picture, the front one is just taller because the orange flame adds height to it. Here’s a better angle.
Thanks again for the replies.

You are missing my point. Only turn the front burner up to where it is all blue flame. It will produce the same amount of heat as the back burners showing all blue.
