Term Details
Term: Back Burning
Subcategory: Technical
Definition: Back burning occurs in burners when the movement of fuel or air leaving the end of the burner is not going as fast than combustion.  This causes the flame to transition down the burner tube to heat the orifice.  And this in turn causes an orange smoky flame and a burner tube that is too hot.
