As I see it, there are two kinds of big flames. Tall lazy and orange are a result of insufficient combustion air. Tall thin spiky bright yellow to white with a touch of blue on the bottom are high oxygenated (?) flames. You can generate those, but may not be able to transfer the heat to your room and the extra goes up the stack. My little stove really likes short white flames for transferring the heat. A good measure his how active the partially burned pellets are, like dancing popcorn, and if you have some sparks a' flyin'. Each stove is different, not just each brand. Mine works best in the range described above, but certainly you don't want a tall lazy flame.
