Is it LP or Natural gas you are using? Are the new parts for LP or Natural gas? The LP burners have large orifices than Natural Gas. Also, before the burner is a collar type sleeve that goes over the gas pipe going to the burner. It will have 1 or 2 holes on it. When the fire is on medium turn this collar to adjust the air to gas ratio. The flame will change color and size. Try for a nice blue flame with small yellow tips.Not a big orange flame. Replace the lava rock yearly and use more than you think you need. Good luck. You are getting too much air.
