Would you trust this flame on your stove?

That’s not got sufficient air (oxygen) in the combustion mix. Flame should be blue with short orange tip, Could be a blockage, suggest giving it a clean. Is it just than one that’s orange or all four?

No!

Is the burner clean?
There could be a soot build up making it worse. Or, there could be insufficient airflow in the room itself.

Sommat wrong there for sure

I blame Milliband... Probably vegan gas!

I would add that’ll be a source of Carbon Monoxide if left on. Known as a silent killer as you can’t smell it, see it etc.

Just tried them all and they seem OK. I noticed it on another burner a couple of weeks ago.

Time for a good clean.

It will be tomorrow.

Nope, he likes a bacon sandwich, just can't eat one properly.

Yes that's my concern and why I ask.

I accidentally experimented with CO poisoning and therefore enthusiastically second your warning!!

(I blacked out but eventually came round and was able to crawl to safety before blacking out again.)
