yep,as stated above,burning conditions affect the color-I have a natural gas wall heater and the(enclosed,forced draft) flame visable through sight glass is very blue |

Usually if the burner is out of adjustment or is sooted up, it will cause a yellow flame. About 4 years ago when I completed the restoration on my 1973 Maytag DG306, I decided to make sure everything was dialed in and adjusted properly, even adjusted the burner while I was at it just to be sure everything was adjusted and gone through. When the mixer on the burner was fully open, was nothing but a pure blue flame along with a bit of a roar, when closed the flame was still blue but didn’t have as much of a roar and was burning a bit cooler since the heat that was radiating wasn’t as hot. Ended up settling somewhere in the middle since that’s how it was when I first got it.
