Flames will not be a uniform size around the cap. This distribution around the cap and grate allows for optimal heating.
If burner flame is blowing or noisy, airflow should be reduced to the burner (close air shutter).
If burner flame is weak and does not hold its shape, airflow should be increased to the burner (open air shutter).
