Does a larger fire ring mean taller flame height?

No, a larger fire ring does not necessarily result in a taller flame. The flame height is primarily determined by the amount of gas being supplied to the burner, not the size of the ring.

  • Larger Fire Ring: A larger ring will broaden the flame, but if the gas pressure and BTU output are not sufficient to match the burner’s requirements, the flame height may actually be reduced.
  • Gas Supply: For a taller flame, the gas supply must meet the burner’s BTU requirements. If the gas flow cannot be increased, reducing the fire ring size can help concentrate the gas flow and increase flame height.

In summary, flame height depends on gas supply, and a larger fire ring affects the width of the flame more than its height.
