YES!!!!! After having my gas fireplace off for 4 years, I always had trouble lighting the pilot & having it actually stay on! After cleaning it, and scrubbing the holes & vacuuming, the pilot had a much stronger flame, but still was not able to light the fire. I just grabbed the compressed air can while my husband opened up the fireplace again, and BOOM the flames caught!!! Thank you soo much for this video!!! After being told it wasn't worth fixing a 20 yr old fireplace & the cost to replace parts, it wasn't worth fixing. NOW ITS FIXED!!!!! THANK YOU!!!

The compressed air worked!! I had already tried cleaning the thermocouple and thermopile, as well as the pilot burner itself but I had not cleaned out the air port at the base of the pilot. Prior to this, I had almost convinced myself that I needed to buy a new thermocouple, thermopile or even a whole new pilot unit. Thank you!

This worked for me. Same issue. Had to hold the pilot in to get it to stay light and would work 1 out of ten times and then go out. The compressed air At 95psi from compressor did the trick and everything worked great after that. Before I used the compressed air I tried the steel wool and that helped keep the pilot on without holding it in but it would still turn off all most immediately when I opened it up full. I don’t think my dyson did anything but I did get it clean! Steel wool cleaning and compressed air is a must. Back in business. Thanks!

Thanks for your Video. I followed all steps and was initially unsuccessful. I got more air pressure and blew out the pilot again. Bingo! The pilot was not sending enough heat to the thermocouple to unlock the gas valve. My unit has been installed for 10 years and this is the first issue. Reassuring that it was DIY fixable.....thanks to Btwilla’s Garage video. Probably saved me $400 service call. Frankly the video gave me the insights and confidence to give it a try.....without blowing up the house! Thanks again.

Didn't seem like anything was really getting cleaned. put it all back together, turned on the switch expecting nothing again and BAM kicked over in 2 seconds. So happy i didn't call a tech out. you saved me $150 bucks, easily. THANK YOU.

Had to call LP gas guy out a couple of years ago because the pilot would not light on my Jotul fireplace. He had to pull a plate up to access the pilot mechanism and the plate was very stubborn and scratched the black paint in the firebox quite badly. Then he removed the pilot mechanism, which was equally stubborn, and took it out to his truck to use a compressor to blow it out. The pilot worked fine then. After reinstalling the floor plate he spray-painted the scratches with a high temperature black paint which I thought was very professional of him. Unfortunately, the smell of the paint burning in the fireplace was nauseating for several weeks and I will never do that again. So after fixing the pilot the guy told me that I needed to leave the pilot on year-round to prevent bits of junk and spiders from clogging the pilot tube. Well, I use this fireplace only as a winter backup and the idea of burning LP just to keep a tube clear really pissed me off, especially since I do not have AC and it gets darned hot here in summer. I compromised by keeping it on all winter. This plan worked well for a couple of years. Keeping it on in the summer would not have done the trick either. This summer I had to turn off the LP source at the tank before I evacuated my home due to wildfire. The house survived the fire but now the pilot will not light. I removed the glass plate to access the pilot and discovered that the firebox was lined with ash from the wildfire (45 mph wind with that fire apparently blew ash down the chimney flue). Took all my strength to get that floor plate out and some cussing to get the pilot mechanism out (and even more nasty words to get the plate back in place) but as shown in this video, blowing it out with my compressor worked.

Thanks for the vid, exactly what was wrong with mine. It took all of about 2 minutes lol. Just as an FYI, if don’t want to drag your compressor out, use a basketball pump... worked for mine
