orange tip flame. Have had a technician ou to look at problem. Installed a new burner and orifice, no change. Using m8-57 orifice. Would it help to switch to smaller orifices? This stove is used in a cabin where extreme high btu's is not really necessary

Replacing an orifice is usually only half the job, you usually have to adjust the pressure regulator or replace it in some cases. Call Garland directly at 1.800.424.2411, and ask if you can adjust the pressure regulator on your model. I have no other info on this, so I don't mind if you stay online to see if other technicians might have the full information. Good Luck, Appliance Specialists
The soot is the result of unburned fuel (just what the color of the flame tells you) so either the propane flow is still way too large (either use a smaller orifice or install a pressure adapter) or the air intake is way too small (enlarge it till the flame becomes entirely blue and steady - no flickering tips). And stop using that incompetent technician.
From what i know about Garland stoves the m8-57 orifice is the only one certified to be used with liquid propane. You could try a m8-55 or even a m8-51 but a safer solution would be to add a pressure regulator and to enlarge the air intake.
No, gas regulators are generic, you can by it from practically all shops that sell ovens .
The air intake is a hole in the pipe coming to the orifice to the burner, covered either with a nut that can be screwed more or less or a metal slide hold together but a small nut. In both cases enlarge it while watching the flame till it gets right on the money.
