[TheForge] simple propane burner question

[GHS]

If that screw is in the burner tube
after the air intake then it is a
spoiler. It does about the same thing
that a cover sliding over the air holes
would do. It reduces the aspiration of
air by disturbing the gas flow.

I have never seen one that has both the
air shutter and the spoiler.
