SunFlower heater question

Question

I was just wondering if anyone can answer why my sunflower htr when first starting it snaps and pops for about 2 minutes and shows little burn spots on the heating element and then this goes away but still burns bluegreen flame around the bottom. it also is rusting very fast i have never had this happen before could there be moister in the tank (20lb).

thank you for any input you can give

I can't tell you what is the fix, but I had one do the same thing. It was fairly old and I could tell it wasn't burning as complete as my eyes would water much quicker than normal. I ended up just buying a new one and trashing it.

The snaps and pops are debris on the element getting burned.

Rust and those small spots will not allow the a good clean burn.

Really should have a cover on all those type heaters when not in use to keep the elements clean.

Mr Heater cookers are trouble in that you boil your brats and all that splatter ends up on the element. Sure it'll burn off but its leaving a a dirty surface.
