What does it mean to smoke a flame?

Today, there is a stove in every home without exception. There are different types of gas stoves, such as built-in, comedy, electric, etc. It is not unreasonable to say that there may be problems in using any of them. In this article, the problem of smoke from gas stove flames is investigated. In this article, we have examined the causes of flame smoke and also the method of solving each of them.

Causes of gas flame smoke

The main cause of smoke in gas flames is the mismatch between fuel and air. Every fuel needs oxygen to burn at the time of combustion. If this does not happen properly, you will see incomplete combustion of the gas and as a result you will produce smoke. Of course, this is less common in new stoves, but new stoves are not immune to it. To investigate this, it should be said that the best combination of oxygen and gas for burning shows itself with blue color in the flames. In fact, whenever your flames are blue, you have the best flame, and the gas burns at its best, with the most heat and the least pollution. But when your flame changes color and shows a spectrum of orange, the main cause is incomplete gas combustion. Depending on the circumstances of your kitchen environment, the methods for solving this case are different and are as follows:

1. If you have not had this problem before and now it has happened to you, you should first check if enough oxygen reaches your flame or not. This issue is usually resolved by changing the climate of the space.

2. If you have had this problem since use, it may be a problem with your gas piston, in fact, this part may not fit your fuel or it may have a technical problem. The gas piston has the task of controlling the amount of gas entering the burner and providing the correct amount to the flame with the correct conditions in terms of fuzzy. If this member does not work properly, you will have an incomplete fuel problem. To solve this case, if you have technical expertise, you should go to the back of the stove and open the flame head. Then remove the gas piston and replace the specimen that you are sure is correct. It should be noted that if you do not have the necessary technical expertise, it is better to ask for help from authorized agencies.

3. Another case is the non-release of materials from gas combustion. In fact, your kitchen ventilation system does not work properly and the waste gas burns in the environment. These materials themselves cause incomplete combustion of gas. To solve this issue, you need to use a proper ventilation system such as a hood.

4. Excess gas is another factor. If you are sure that your gas pistons are correct, you can close the gas valve a little so that less gas reaches the stove and the gas to burn ratio is observed.

5. Low piping gas is another factor that if this problem occurs, your plumbing should be checked. If there is a problem, these pipes should be repaired.

But another factor that contributes to the smoke from the flames is the misbehavior of people using stoves. This means that when cleaning the stove, chemicals are used and the remnants of these materials are still left in the stove and the flame. These materials also burn with the gas when it burns, producing soot. To solve this case, the necessary care must be taken in washing the stoves and all parts must be cleaned with appropriate tools.
