    Purpose of air shutters.

    I understand air shutters control the flow of air to the burner. Open = more air, closed = less air. Typically people open the shutter when their flames are yellow, which can cause soot. Why not just open the air shutter all the way? Wouldn't that be ideal for soot prevention?
