What do you need for the campfire?

 

To start a successful fire, you need three types of fuel: tinder, kindling and firewood.

 

Tinder includes small twigs, dry leaves, needles or forest dust.

Kindling consists of small sticks, usually less than 2.5 cm.

Firewood is a larger piece of wood that keeps your fire burning late into the night.

Why does my fireplace keep going out?

 

It may seem obvious, but be sure to check the fuel level in the tank. Close the valve and check the fuel; Low concentrations may prevent a strong flame or contribute to a sputtering flame. The steerer tube can also be clogged with dirt or debris, and a thorough cleaning usually fixes the problem.

 

How often do thermocouples need to be replaced?

 

How often do thermocouples break? Thermocouples are rigorously tested and should last for years. Experts believe that a four-year control cycle is sufficient to ensure that everything is working properly.

 

How much does a thermocouple replacement cost?

 

Replacing a thermocouple costs between $150 and $250. It checks if the light is on.

 

Why does a light have to go out all the time?

 

Usually a problem with the thermocouple will cause the pilot light to go out. The thermocouple is the small copper rod that the pilot light strikes. The function of the thermocouple is to close a gas safety valve when the pilot goes out. This is important because gas is still supplied to the pilot to keep the flame lit.

 

Why does my hot water keep running out?

 

The most common reason your water heater's pilot light keeps going out is a damaged, bent, or dirty thermocouple.

 

Do the LEDs smell bad?

 

Note that it is perfectly normal for autopilots (pilots that do NOT stay on all the time) to smell a bit of natural gas when you first turn them on. Some gas escapes when the pilot and burners light your heater or appliance.

 

Is it safe to light a pilot light with a lighter?

 

Yes, it is safe to light a pilot light with a gas lighter. First, make sure your hands or clothes do not come into contact with the burner. Then turn the torch knob to the “Pilot” position. Now hold the knob in this position and light the pilot with a gas lighter.

 

Why is my light not on on my hot water tank?

 

If your gas water heater won't turn on, you may have a faulty control thermostat. This valve controls the gas supply to the pilot. If the light is not on and the thermocouple is OK, the thermostatic valve may be faulty.
