Gas hot water heater ignites and the burner flame cones up to bottom of tank then within seconds it starts to flutter and doesnt burn correctly. It's like it drops down and burns iracticaly
Don't know how old your hot water heater is. They don't last forever. If the tank starts to leak inside the cone it will cause the burner to do this because the water droplets will boil and splatter. Only other thing to cause this is with a cold start up when the tank is full of cold water during high humidity.
