Size and heat is based on how much oxygen you feed it and what fuel you use to sustain it.
More oxygen the bigger the flame.
The better fuel the hotter the flame. I.E Jet fuel will burn hotter than timber. But timber will burn longer than jet fuel, weight for weight.

Size is controlled by the amount of fuel. More oxygen = more heat.

On a bunson burner, there's usually a height-adjust wheel for the size, and an air opening to adjust the amount of oxygen it lets in, which controls the heat. On the last one I remember, you twisted it to let in more, or less air/oxygen.

I know you control the size of it by the amount of oxygen you give it.
