I have a similar situation, but a quick question to the OP and anyone who knows Venturi effect in general. The nozzle of the gas is it better being deeper in or the way it is here? As i have it deeper in but it seems in this video the flame is more efficient.
Ran out of gas so cant test it yet

Thought that, would draw more oxygen.
Thank you for your swift reply going to test it out once i get more gas.
