    We use a gas stove and had to have our tanks replenished recently. For some reason one, and only one of the burners, shoots flame up very high. We hadn't had the issue before getting gas.

    You have your burners clogged or your hose is damaged.

    (I lean to the hose being damaged)

    Or the burner holes are rusting and getting bigger so more flame comes out.

    If the hose was damaged, we would have trouble getting flame, I would think. The holes may have become clogged since we had to wait about a friggin' month to get replenished.

    It doesn't look that way and it's not been about a month since our gas ran out.

    I just got a new grill, here is from the troubleshooting page

    What causes uneven heat while cooking with my gas grill?

    Although not considered normal, uneven heat with your gas grill could be caused by a blockage in the burner venturi tubes. It is possible for small insects or debris to get inside the venturi tubes of the burner. Any blockage inside these tubes could cause uneven heat.

    What sometimes happens is that a kink or defect in the hose sometimes causes a back flow in the propane and you can get an uneven flame because the first burners are getting a burst while the others are starved.

    it is the same principle as a lighter that is flickering and then all of a sudden gives off a big flame.
