What Does Green Flame On Gas Stoves Mean?

A green flame on your gas stove indicates that there’s something wrong with the combustion process. After all, the color of the flame depends on the combustion process and what exactly is burning.

    Yeah I was gonna say... my first thought was that copper burns green, in various forms... probably not good.

    As the page says, salt+copper can lead to this or basically rusted copper can do this.

    Not good to be breathing, or getting absorbed into food.
