This happens to me at different elevations and it's just soot build up. I just crank up the burner for a few minutes and then hit it a few times with a rubber mallet. The soot build up will burn off. You'll get a bunch of different colored flames and after a few minutes it'll return to normal.

You gotta like Steve's "hit it a few times with a rubber mallet." Amazing how many things in life work better after that..........

Something else to check, not sure if you have them also, but it happened to me on mine a few months ago. Similar flame coloration, and then it wouldn’t light at all. Pulled off top, and found an issue.

Between the valve, and the burner tube there was, as in no more, a black plastic tube that the burner tube ran through. Guess it was about an inch or so long. It was originally inside the valve tube. I’m guessing a liner or centering tube. It had heated up and melted, blocking the fuel flow to burner.

Removed the melted gunk, reinstalled the burner tube and no issues since.

Well, I like Steve's solution too, bigger hammer. To update, no answer, no response from Atwood at all! Not too surprised as someone did advise me that they were not end user friendly. So tried everything suggested (ok, except the rubber mallet)...guess I'll live with the yellow tips....LOL. There are no blockages, the propane is ok, there are no adjustment values, I cannot get chim-chim-cheroo out of my head now...thanks a bunch Johnny, and the supplier is non responsive. Sounds like a normal RV day to me! I'm sure if I look around I can find someone else to fix.....

Here's something that's been in my head but forgot to ask. And no, it doesn't help a thing but answer this question. Does your front middle burner produce a larger flame than the back two even though all the burners are all the same size? Mine does, and with a perfect blue flame. There must be something to what they said about reducing the size of your flame. Maybe they just don't want to say the atomization has been sacrificed due to such a short runner?

Most of the RV ranges have a 9,000 BTU burner in the front and the two back burners are rated 6,500 BTU, even though they look to be similar in size, so that may be why the flame appears to be larger on the front burner.

Nice. Seem's the more I throw out there the more things come into light. 2500 more BTU's of propane passing over the same size vent's as the rear's. Hmm? I let that sink in a while as to what's going on here about yellow tips up front.

Yes, the front flame is larger, its a high output burner. I didn't know the BTU'S off the top of my head, but the manual does address it. It looks the same size, but is supposed to produce a hotter/higher flame.
