As I see it, what you needed or were looking for is a needle control valve, and with that size of burner somethining like the 250 listed at TejasSmokers on their fittings/valves page.

What you ended up with, is controlling what appperas to be a  low pressure burner with a adjustable pressure regulator. Now that is fine up to a point, but when you are running with higer output, like the pic with the high flame, you are not getting enough air for a clean burn. Yes you get more heat, and also more soot. Also you will burn alot more gas, a lot more ineffieciently, costing you more money per BTU gain. Now the cost might not be a big factor, but I wonder about the soot? One wants a blue clean burning flame,,,then the soot is eliminated.  Otherwise one needs to open up the venturi for more air intake.

Just food for thought.

Thanks for the Website, they have some interesting parts there. However, I don't foresee me ever using a flame that high. That was just for illustration. There is an adjustment on the cast iron burner itself that I can fool with. I'll know more this week since we have a Pork Butt planned for on Thursday.
