I started up my Jotul GF 300 DV Allagash for its sixth season of light use and the flame was no more than a third of the usual height and all blue. The manual said that this may be due to too much air flow, and to reduce the airflow I should move the stud under the stove back. However it was already as far back as it would go. A serviceman came and spent two hours and was unable to make any improvement. Any ideas?

Remove the burner pan & with a 1/2" (or 13mm) wrench, remove the burner orifice. You will probably find a spider's nest behind it. Looks like a white diaphragm. Use a pipe cleaner or a Q-Tip to remove it. Reassemble & you should be good to go...Lemme know it the problem persists after this procedure...
Thanks. It sounds like the repairman did all that. I'm not confident to take the thing apart myself.
Finally got it fixed in time for a cold Thanksgiving, something the first repairman missed. Was not cheap.
May have been that spider's nest, but we'll hafta wait for him to come back, or you can "Start a Conversation" with him...
The repairman fixed it. I wasn't home. Apparently it was a spider web the first guy missed.
