Having trouble lighting a second propane gas fireplace for 2 reasons.
- The spark is bouncing all over the place (see short video). formatting link
- The propane is coming out too fast for the pilot to light (see video). formatting linkIf I hold a long-necked butane lighter to the pilot, I see the propane is moving at a high velocity:formatting linkEventually (couple of minutes of flame), the pilot ignites, allowing the rest of the fireplace to light up:formatting linkMy questions are twofold:
- Is there a way to adjust the spark so that it hits the same spot twice? (Where is it supposed to strike anyway?)
- Is it possible to lower the velocity of the pilot light propane so that lighting the pilot light is easier? TIA.
Note: This procedure below worked on the good fireplace which is built exactly the same - so I don't think it's a procedural error on my part.
