When you have bad gas at an inspection….

No—-not the elevator or the under-the-covers kind.

Take a look at this picture.  This is new construction.  Can you tell what is wrong?

A properly adjusted gas cook-top burner will be a nice even blue—-with NO yellow.  In this case the entire flame is yellow.

Why?

Actually the answer is too simple.  This is a Natural Gas cook-top running on Propane—-someone forgot to change the orifices is all—-a pretty easy fix and the correct orifices may have even been included with the unit.
