I can't figure it out why on the far side of the burner the flames are so different. It's like the wind is blowing from that side. I put a restrictor of 1.5" over the vent pipe. Should I increase or decrease the restrictor size over the vent pipe? Or is the burner problem? The gas pressure I know is only at minimum 5.5" W.C. Thanks
