Wolf oven heavy burned smell. LPG

When I turn on the oven there is a heavy semi unburned gas smell till the oven is completely heated. Seems to me the amount of gas introduced in the burn area is much too much in relation to air volume therefore causing a heavy un breathable air in the room. How can I adjust the burn or air to gas rate? Please help.

There should be an adjustable air shroud around the burner tube
for safety sake and to ensure that what you suggest is the real problem and not a symptom, get in gas fitter to diagnose the fault

SOURCE: how can you tell if

Most ranges are easy to convert from propane to gas or vice versa. If there is a gas regulator installed on the back gas inlet, you could see if it is running 3-6" WC or 10-12" WC, The latter is for propane. If no regulator is present the orifice sizes will need to be checked. Propane has a higher caloric value than natural gas so the orifices are smaller. One way to see would be to install the oven. If the orifices are for propane and you are using natural gas there will be too little flame. I would estimate a conversion would cost no more than $250.00 to $300.00 depending on where you are. I would hire a professional to verify. I know it is expensive but the technician will be able to check your older oven (1985) for potentially dangerous gas leaks etc while he is there.

My Kenmore propane fueled gas oven gives off a powerful strong smell every time it is started. The burners on top do not. Is there any way I can correct this?

this is because the gas is on full before the oven lights
IT is an explosive situation and should be quickly corrected by an accredited gas fitter
the soot indicates an incorrect burn ratio and that will be the major part of the problem

Why would it smell like plastic burning when my oven heats up It is a older hardwick gas stove

this is very common on new ovens , seems the mfg use preservatives on metal parts that needs to burn off
it should go away after just one or two uses
of course its your choice if you use it for food in these 1st few heat cycles

Burning smell from underneath the bottom oven plate

Something spilled into the area where the flame is Those big gaps in the bottom plate is how the heat gets into the oven from the burner . Try letting the oven burn off whatever spilled in it

Fridgatare modle #FGG3054KFB I have a frigidaire range that has been converted to propane. When the oven is turned of it has a strong propane smell and there is alot of moistier inside. The flame is about...

It shouldn't be burning yellow and emitting soot at all;sounds like on of these possible causes-
(a)blocked burner airways(this can lead to yellow tipping and sooting on LPG powered appliances because insufficient air is getting through to the burner causing it;you can also get this effect on LPG barbecues say if dead insects or spiderwebs are in the burner pipes and airways after a period of storage),
(b)incorrect aeration being set when the burner was converted using LPG jets(too much gas and not enough air causing yellow flames/smells and sooting),
or (c) if you use propane cylinder gas a dicky or faulty regulator. I would get it looked at investigating all the possibilities I mention and taking action to correct this where necessary ie clearing the burner airways(if this is causing your problem), adjusting the aeration in the burners until you get a clear noiseless blue flame without any excessive yellow and sooting(but even after good adjustment you may find still get a very slight yellow tip without sooting at the top of the flame;this does happen with propane gas and there is a slight tendancy for this to happen more often with butane-butane tends to display very slight yellow tips on ignition increasing slightly as the burner warms up to full temperature) or if you use propane cylinder gas replacing the regulator if that is necessary.
