3 catalogued root causes for this symptom: burner_flame_misalignment: Direct-fire burner flame not centered or deflector tuned wrong, concentrated heat in one zone. — air_distribution_imbalance: One side of intake plenum delivers more air than the other (loading imbalance, partial blockage, damaged baffle). — radiant_heat_from_lights_or_walls: Halogen booth lights add localized radiant heat. Outside walls heated by sun add another asymmetric source.. The diagnostic sequence below walks through isolating each in order.
