We have several outdoor gas lights, no mantle, in addition to our fireplace, all producing beautiful yellow flames. ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ----Original Message Follows---- From: homeclinic-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Reply-To: homeclinic@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To: homeclinic@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [homeclinic] Re: quiz flame gas(answer) Date: Mon, 3 Mar 2003 06:23:55 -0500 (EST) Garrett Lanzy, you are correct. >>>>True or false: If you are using natural gas, the color of the flame >>should always be blue. >>>False. I'm looking at my natural gas fireplace, which is operating >normally and puttingout a nice yellow flame. (However, that's >the only "exception" I knowof.) In review the question was.. True or false: If you are using naturalgas the color of the flame should always be blue. False: Gas fireplacelogs are an exception to the blue flame rule. Most of these productsare designed to be operated with a yellow or orange flame in order toachieve a more realistic appearance. However, any time they are used, the damper in the fireplace should be open. On a gas appliance, the color of the flame is a good indicator of incomplete combustion. The flame should always be burning blue, not orange or yellow. If the flame is not blue, it may be a sign that the appliance needs adjusting, or perhaps cleaning.
