Gas Hob Issue

[Ian_Rob]

Two of three burners on the hob of our Eno cooker have a much reduced flame. The third burns as normal.

Is there a likely explanation?

Thank you.

Blocked jets. Remove and clean

Is your gas turned all the way on?

Blocked holes in the burner too?

yep blocked jets etc. give a good clean.
Just dont go sticking things in the jets or holes. use a proper cleaner.

Thanks for the advice. We tried washing them throughly in warm, soapy water but it made no difference. I will see what proprietary cleaners are available.

We first noticed a reduction in the flame size of one of the affected burners after a particular rough passage through the overfalls of St Albans Head at the end of last season…..?

Blast some air into the fittings to help. Although need a compressor to do that.

I've used nylon bristles, such as from tooth brushes to clean jets. Do still need to be careful though.

Carbon and rust off the burners can drop in to the jets. Unscrew them and blow them through. Clean up the burner whilst you are at it. A vacuum cleaner is handy once you have the jet out

Thanks for the suggestions. I have a trigger nozzle somewhere - the type that attaches to a can of compressed air and used by cinematographers to ‘clean the gate‘. I will give that a try.
