Should you turn pilot light off gas fireplace

It may be spring, but colder temperatures and snow storms that are still brewing across the US have us itching for cozier homes. If you're lucky enough to be near a fireplace during these chilly times or just eager to bring more hygge into your summer home, we asked Ted Cuttitta, owner of NY Fireplace Designs, everything you need to know to light your fire.MaterialsLogs (cut into three sizes)NewspaperMatches/LighterSafety FirstIf the fireplace has been used before, remove excess ash and soot. Use a metal bucket to avoid accidental fires. Open your air control or dampener to allow air to flow through the chimney. Refer to your fireplace model for more information on the air flow system it is equipped with. Have an open hearth fireplace? Common in historic properties or homes with a traditional heat source, open hearth fireplaces usually do no have a glass door and have no air flow control. The flue remains open at all times. Check the flue before each fire by rolling a lit sheet of newspaper inside your fireplace. Note how the wind is moving. If the smoke if moving up through the fireplace, the flue is open. If the smoke is flowing into the room, the flue may be closed or clogged. Chimneys need to be cleaned at least once a year by a licensed professional. If you believe your fireplace is clogged, do not light a fire until you have had it re-inspected. Brad Holland/House Beautiful Build an Even Log StackLayer logs in a stack, the largest on the bottom and the smallest on top. This allows the fire to spread evenly and burn for longer without needing to be re-ignited. Shred newspaper into small strips, layering them on top of the log pile. Using remaining kindling, build a pyramid shape on top as a fire starter. This helps catch fire and provide a cleaner burn. Brad Holland/House Beautiful Light the FireUsing a match or lighter, light the newspaper, allowing the fire to build and spread to the larger logs and create an even flame. Adjust your dampener or air control as needed for a smaller flame and remember to build your fire to the length of time desired. The larger the logs, the longer your fire will burn. If you plan to leave the fire unattended for extended periods of time, light smaller fires more frequently, making sure to clean excess embers before each lighting. Brad Holland/House Beautiful What About Fire Starters?Fire starters like Duraflame or Java Logs are manufactured wood logs made of sawdust, plant wax and other ignitable substances. Many are designed to ignite in unfavorable conditions and claim to last longer. Great for beginners or those looking for a fire in appearance only, most starter logs are sustainable and a safe alternative to solid wood in EPA tests. However, it isn't recommended to using starter logs to cook with and they provide a lower burn temperature than traditional wood, making them inefficient for homes using fireplaces as a heat source or for indoor s'mores.

You can't roast marshmallows in them, but you'll have the advantage of a clean and convenient source of heat.A modern gas fireplace emits no smoke and vents its waste gases to the outside through a tube in the wall rather than up a chimney. It incorporates air-movement channels that maximize the warmth supplied to the house. The fireplace consists of incombustible "logs" covering gas vents, and the fire itself burns behind glass doors. It gives off both radiant and convected heat and provides an experience similar to an open fire [source: Berendsohn].One benefit of a gas fireplace is that it may help lower heating bills. It lets you heat the room you are spending time in while you keep your thermostat low and the rest of the house cooler. You stay toasty and your furnace gets a rest. Most gas fireplaces take advantage of sealed combustion. Their doors have gaskets that block all air. The fire draws air outside air through a pipe to support combustion, so no warm room air is drawn out of the house.If you want to add a fireplace to an existing home, a gas fireplace makes sense. Because it doesn't require a massive masonry hearth and chimney, it can easily be included in a new family room. You sacrifice much less floor space and still have a fire to look at. You can also buy a gas fireplace insert that fits into a traditional fireplace hearth and boost its energy efficiency. As with its wood-burning counterpart, the gas insert has its own flue that snakes up the masonry chimney.Because gas burns very cleanly, there are even vent-free fireplaces on the market. In this case, the combustion products -- carbon dioxide and water vapor -- simply enter the room, along with all the heat produced. Although highly efficient, they are also subject to debate. In a tight home, a vent-free fireplace can deplete oxygen or create an excess of moisture. The American Lung Association warns buyers to be careful of the emissions given off by vent-free appliances [source: American Lung Association].Gas fireplaces are easy to use and require little maintenance. Some come with a remote control, so that you can adjust them from across the room. You will occasionally have to remove dust, soot and carbon buildup from the logs and make sure the door gaskets are intact. As with any gas appliance, if you smell gas, turn off the supply and call an expert.Because they involve open flames, all fireplaces -- even gas ones -- create some danger. The next section will talk about how to use a fireplace safely.Other AlternativesWith no vent, ethanol fireplaces boast a high efficiency in heating a room. They burn renewable ethanol (pure alcohol), and they can sit anywhere in your home, even on the living room coffee table. Another alternative is the electric fireplace, either freestanding or inserted into an existing hearth. It's not exactly a fireplace -- there is no fire -- but an electric heater designed to look like a fireplace. It's clean, emission-free, easy to install, and can provide plenty of warmth. Maybe it doesn't have the charm of a crackling fire, but it doesn't come with the drawbacks, either [source: CBS]. I purchased a vent free gas fireplace this past spring when they were one sale at a local store and it seemed to work fine with the little testing I did to make sure it worked properly. I turned it off shortly after installing it because I wasn't going to use it until the this winter.This year when trying to use it, the pilot light wont stay lit half the time. In the times when the pilot light will stay lit long enough for the gas bar to ignite, the fire will cut itself off shortly thereafter and the pilot light will go out again. The only time I can keep a fire going is if I turn the heat all the way up and it works until it reaches the right temperature to cut itself off. When it does cut itself off the pilot light goes out again.I'm guessing (although I don't know for sure) that it has something to do with the fireplace not being able to detect a flame and its cutting itself off as a protection mechanism. Unless I go full force on the temperature setting which generates enough heat where that isn't a problem. Can anyone give me any feedback on what exactly could be going wrong and what I should take a look at? I have a vent free ProCom modle #FBD28T. Mine has done this also a couple of times. I believe it was be due to air being trapped in the gas line. Once I ran the unit for several hours, the pilot stayed lit and the unit worked as the manufacturer intended. I suggest making SURE all the air has been blead from the gas suply line. The idea of purging the line of air seems faulty: 1) there has been pressure before, so any significant amount of air would have already been "pushed out", 2) purging is commonly done by leaving the line unhooked and then opening the valve - gas flowing out - making getting a nice BOOm! possible., 3) air is itself partially combustible and should have been burned up already. I would look at the gas flow regulator. Contact the store and manufacturer immedaitely! My vent free gas fireplace pilot stays lite all winter long. Comes spring when I would like to use it to save on my fuel oil the pilot will not stay lit. This seem to happen every year. Anyone know why? The reason the pilot goes out on mine is that sometimes when the valve turns on because the thermostat wants heat the burner takes too long to ignite causing a buildup of gas, then when it does ignite the resulting WHOOOOSSHHHH blows out the pilot, the burner flame goes out and the gas then turns off and the heater is without the pilot running. Poor pilot to burner ignition design. pilot stays lit,but goes out when you turn on htr Mine just started doing the same thing today. Pilot stays lit until I turn on the heat then it goes out. Most likely the thermocouple. Update; my delivery guy overfilled the tank and it was drawing liquid instead of vapor freezing up the regulator. I let out some gas and am now good to go. My unit shuts down when I turn on the bliwer Post a reply as Anonymous
