    Thanks for making this!! I need to do that. I also heard bugs get in there that cause the black soot.

    You need to adjust your air intake
    The flame needs to be blue

      Thank for watching! Yes, I agree. We eventually did get the air mixture corrected.

    What causes that soot ?

      Incorrect fuel to air mixture makes the fuel not cleanly burn and the soot is the evidence/byproduct of this. The sliding vents on the front adjusted so the flame fires a nice solid blue gives me the cleanest burn and way less soot. Thank you for watching! ~Shanna

      It can be a problem for any propane water heater.Is yours propane or electric? If you don’t have any soot, then I would say yours is burning a lot better than mine. It isn’t specific to Airstreams because airstream doesn’t manufacture this part. My water heater is made by Atwood. ~Shanna
