I bought a #3 jet and holder from Bob Pauley at Sulphur Springs. The new
jet improved performance and run time. Also, I recently replaced my burner
screen with some new stainless steel screen, as the original had
deteriorated. This change dramatically improved the "look" of the flame...
it is now uniform in shape and size the entire length of the burner.

My mesh does cover the whole opening. The opening in stainless tube that
holds the
mesh in place (on mine) was cut in a triangle, so the slit at the end was
barely
exposed at all. The item that slides into place on my burner is the gas
connection/jet. I don't know if the actual jet screws in separately to the
gas
connection, it did not seem to but I was not looking for that. On my Ruby
][ the
connection/jet assembly is only a press fit into the collar in the burner
tube.
Someone I was steaming with yesterday said something about replacing the #5
jet with
a #3. Anyone know anything about that?
