LIGHT / TURN ON GAS LOG FIREPLACE - SAFELY

Quick guide how to light or turn on gas log fireplace safely.
Like most people, I turn off my fireplace after each winter. I live in Texas and the temperature here 75% of the year do not need fireplace. Having the pilot fire running all year long is actually not a good idea, it will be wasting gas and it is not safe.
Because I turn off my gas log fireplace every year, when the temperature drops in the winter I do need to turn it back on, here are the basic steps of how to turn on gas log fireplace after it has been off for most of the year.
1. Make sure all the gas valves / connections are still closed.
2. Make sure the primary switch (the one that has pilot, on, off) is switched to OFF.
3. Start turning on the gas from the gas valve closes to the source pipe.
4. Then turn on other gas valve closer to the gas log.
5. Finally switch the gas log fireplace valve to PILOT and start igniting the pilot fire (you must use manual / instruction from your gas log fireplace manufacturer).
6. Once the pilot fire is on, I usually wait at least 1 minute to make sure the pilot fire is stable.
7. Then switch the main gas log fireplace switch to ON position.
Thanks for watching this video, I hope you are having a great winter.

Mine has a glass front cover I don’t know how to remove, so after step one, I’m screwed.

What happened in trying to turn it "ON" not from the remote but from the switch?

[@DevilDocPlays]

I just bought a house with the exact same unit. Where is the knob to adjust flame output?

How do the wires not burn?

[@flaviustiberiu442]

what are those fluffy things wont they catch fire

[@DIYGEEKTEXAS]

those fluffy things are like steel cotton, they burn and glow to create amber like effect, but they do not light up on fire.

There's no 12 noon when referring at the clock dial for pointing things out, it's 12 or 12, nothing else.

@Daniel Avram You are right, thanks for pointing that out!

[@richardbedard1245]

Your presentation confuses me. You say "switch" then point to a valve! Switches are electrical, valves are mechanical.
