What could be the fault. Carbon monoxide!

They look at the gas mixture and should be able to restore the hob/grill to performing safely.
Carbon Monoxide is a silent killer as it has no smell. If they get you in time the only cure is taking you to 6 bar in a hyberbaric chamber, nothing else works.

Everyone should be made aware, that any but a gas burner with a bright entirely blue flame, is a killer.

It could just be some spillover that has partly blocked one or more of the rings. But they will have the equipment to check it is operating safely.

0.6 Bar over normal atmospheric pressure on pure Oxygen.

However the tight gits running the NHS disagree and they recommend Pure O2 at normal atmospheric pressure delivered through an Oreo/Nasal mask. Link

6 Bar is the same pressure as being 200ft underwater - that is greater than sport Scuba divers descend to. 6 bar on pure Oxygen is very likely to kill you - definitely too too much of a good thing. Most treatment chambers at civilian hospitals are 2 bar max. There is only around 15 'Divers' recompression chambers in the UK.

I'd guess 6 bar was a typo. A friend of mine works at the Rugby one on your link, she's a well-qualified scuba diver. Mainly used for long covid patients.

Just clean the bloody hob.

Could it even be just a case of cleaning it. It is regularly cleaned thou.

Blue flame with yellow/orange tip

What do you mean a spill over?

And gas mixture. It's the bottled gas I use.

Not strictly true

Caravan? Also, still could be incomplete combustion, could be oxygen/air isn’t sufficient

House.

If it's not enough oxygen, how can this be solved..

 

[CBW]

Depends if it’s one of the air ports or not, either way, think you need a gas safe registered engineer, who holds an lpg qualification

I mean cooking stuff spilling over into the gas path underneath so that it compromises the amount of fresh air added to the flame. Or rust in the castellated bits, things of that sort can make the flame burn poorly.

Go on then, you provide an explanation of the difference between a safe and unsafe burner flame?

When a customer is using an oxygen tank and the flame turns orange, tested again without and the flame is ok. Also when grease/food buildup can produce a yellow flame. Inset live fuel effect gas fires & some flueless gas fires, dfe fires - mostly all ok. An unsafe burner flame is that that is different to what a manufacturer has stated it should be and generally a blue flame

Stop using it and have it inspected / repaired / replaced by a Gas Safe registered person.

It's spilling lethal toxic gas into your home which could kill you or anyone else there.

Discussions over why what or how are completely irrelevant.
