You need to adjust it to where it is mostly blue. It is difficult to get the orange out completely, but it needs to be a minimum. Usually with an orange flame you will get some black soot and / or an odor of incomplete combustion. The orange indicates a lack of oxygen, so you will need to open up the air register to get it adjusted. Otherwise you stand the chance of carbon monoxide poisoning. Depending on the complexity of the stove, you may want to call a service man to do the adjustments.

I always thought that blue flame is the hottest, red, orange the next hottest and so I don't think you need blue to cook with. Did this just occur or are you new to the stove? It's hard to answer unless you can give a little more information. I don't think orange is bad. My sister has gas, natural and she has all colors at one time or another with her stove. I cleaned the little holes on the burners for her and it burnt more evenly. You could call your local gas company or go on googles and get some info. I think the amount of air in the gas causes it to change colors. If you aren't smelling a lot of fumes or if it seems to cook ok, I think you are ok. Your call though.

I have always been told that if it is orange, not blue then their is a carbon monoxide leak, if this is, I would get it checked!!!
