Then, I apologize for using the term; "scolder" that is. As to the term 
"vapor" it is the term the propane industry chooses to use. They do make the 
distinction between a vapor and a gas. So, who should I believe? You certainly sound 
scientific. I can follow what you say, though it is hard slogging. However, 
chances are good that they have scientific people helping to come up with their 
terms too. Perhaps, it would be helpful for you to ask them for a 
clarification? Please understand that I don't mind being corrected, especially if that 
correction furthers understanding of these burners. Understanding is just as 
necessary as experimentation and design to further improvement. However, its 
seems to me that we have come to an impasse. Perhaps "vapor" was a slip up on some 
technical writer's part, and perhaps it was not. Until you receive a 
confirmation from them that it was just some glitch, which they have been unwilling to 
correct, I have to go with the statements of accepted authority. Otherwise, 
we have chaos. Personally, I'll be interested, either way, in hearing what they 
have to say to you.
