Hey everyone! I've noticed something strange with my gas stove burners. Just last night, they were burning blue as usual, but this morning, they're all burning orange. I read that this is usually a sign of an improper oxygen-to-fuel mix, but I haven't changed anything in my home to cause it. Should I be calling a plumber or an appliance specialist? For context, I recently cleaned the burners about two weeks ago, so I don't think that's the issue. Any advice on what to do next?

Keep in mind that outside temperature can play a role too. I noticed my flames change color when it gets really cold outside, so that might be something to monitor as well!
Check if you have a humidifier running. Sometimes, when they're in use, they can cause orange flames because of dissolved minerals getting vaporized. It might still be the culprit, even if it's in a separate room!
If you're using propane, it might indicate you're running low on fuel. Just a thought!
Nah, I have natural gas lines, so that’s not my issue.
I had the same issue and it cleared up after switching to distilled water in my humidifier.
