| Jan 14, 2020 at 3:29 | comment | added | Michael | I have the exact same problem, -25C here now and mysteriously the fireplace wouldn't lite. Also the pilot looked lower that usual too, then would go out. Re-lighting it, it would be full size for a bit, then dwindle. I tried heating the valve like you did and that totally fixed it, just like it did for you. I bet there's something about cold gas in a cold valve. My thermal camera only showed everything at +18C, so not overly cold... | |
