This is good news.

We've had this for kitchen 5 years and assumed it was the nature of LP
so not given it much more thought.

The burners produce a nice clean looking blue flame and no soot on the
cookware. The vent is larger than the stove and appears to pull. If
it's the vent the problem is fixable as we can't change the fuel source.

Another person mentioned that make up air may be inadequate. Going to
get the appliance folks over to check it out. Appreciate the input.
