š§¼ Introduction: Weak Gas Flame? Hereās the Fix
If your gas stove flame is weak, yellowish, or uneven, itās not just frustratingāitās a sign that your burner nozzles are clogged š§. Over time, food splatter, grease, dust, and rust can block the tiny holes that release gas, causing low heat output, delayed cooking, and even dangerous gas buildup ā ļø.
But before you call a technician or replace your stove, thereās a simple, powerful DIY trick that can restore your burnerās strength and give you that clean, strong blue flame again šµš„.
š ļø The Homemade Hack Using Paper Towels and Alcohol
This trick involves using a paper towel roll soaked in rubbing alcohol to burn away grime and carbon deposits deep inside your burner head. It sounds wild, but it worksāfast, safely, and cheaply. š„
š„ Why This Work
- Rubbing alcohol (isopropyl) burns cleanly and reaches high temperatures, helping break down soot and carbon build-up.
- The flame travels through the air holes and nozzle tips, unclogging the internal channels without disassembly.
- This creates a more efficient flame, improves gas flow, and even reduces gas consumption in the long term.
š§Ŗ What Youāll Need
- 1 empty toilet paper or paper towel roll (cardboard core)
- Rubbing alcohol (70% or 90%)
- Lighter or matchstick š„
- Stove turned off
- (Optional) Gloves and ventilation
