Flame problems, dryer help needed

[244]

Thanks Rich, our is just like that at rest, much more of the orange at the tips when it fires on.  How/where would one adjust the mix properly for this, I know there are a number of regulators in the gas train.  Again, sorry for derail, hopefully pertinent info your issue Pierre.

If one or more of the holes in the cage is aimed in a weird direction that might be it.  I imagine if a few holes were blasting the wrong part of the flame at the rod it would cause rapid soot buildup, etc.  My question is, aside from extended use and heat, how the heck does something like that get bent?  I know our basket has been very throughly used for long hours at higher temps and it does not look perfect for sure but I don't recall seeing any major distortion when I had it out last.

The plates can warp from improper air flow.

Sorry you are still having issues! From my arm chair quarterback position you for sure should not have this problem.
the burner basket on that burner consist of two 6" Perforated plates on each side of the burner manifold tube.
If there is a big difference in the shape of the plates you will have air/gas mixing ratio problems. I have seen the
plates straight, and also with a slight Vee at the the top depending on burner model. from my memory which is not always
the best you had this problem since New? To fix problem I would buy New plates and rebuild the burner. A few hours
at the most. When I took the burner out I would Look at the fiberglass packing to make sure it is present! Make sure all screws
are in burner basket. Look Down Burner Tube for obstruction. Make sure all burner holes are clean and clear with a twist drill
and your fingers. Under normal conditions the "maxon airflow" burners are bullet proof and can be fixed for not a lot of money.
Again an easy fix that WILL solve the problem. Start from Square One You Can Do it! Look for obvious problems. Call me if I can Help.
