This was a great video in that it actually told me where the pilot light was. All the other videos just tell you to hold the lighter near the opening, but no one said where it was! Maybe sounds simple, but I couldn't find it until I took the logs off like Joe said. After that, it was easy. Thank you!
Nothing to be ashamed of. Im a 32 year old son of a Marine Corps Contractor and Mercedes Benz tech and even I refresh myself with this stuff. For safety. One wrong action could cost you and others their lives.
THANK YOU! OMG this fireplace has the same exact equipment. We were messing with it and didn't notice the pilot knob until now lol. We were about to blow ourselves up haha. Thank you!
This video was so helpful. I did not know the logs would come out of the fireplace as I rent my home. However, after I followed your instructions it was so very easy to do. Thank YOU!!
Easy to follow the instructions. This is just like mine which is an older set which does not have the ignitor button. Thank you for the close up of where to light it. And to hold down the pilot. Mine went out the first time and I held it a few seconds longer.
Thank you so much for this video. I recently moved into a new house that had this exact same system, but couldn't find any other videos or knew if anyone else who could help me figure this out. The house is big, with large open spaces and it is getting very cold here. I've only had wood stoves and wood burning fireplaces so gas is all new to me.
Thank you much for this perfect video! I was so nervous about using a lighter over an open gas line but your video gave me the confidence that nothing would explode in my face.
Thanks, I moved to a new house and my model is similar. This video helped me a lot. Can I leave the pilot light on during the winter months when I will be using the fireplace regularly?
I'm thinking about getting gas logs, but I have to laugh. Will it still work if I count out loud and not just in my head? Seriously, very helpful video. Thanks.
Jake Johnson How did he save you that chunk? Is that what a pro would have charged? Thanks. I’m asking, bc I need my fireplace worked on. Need a new igniter, and I want my know out more like his. Thanks. Any advice would be great.
Video is very helpful. But my pilot does not go in to start the lighting. What should I do? What are other reasons when pilot mark is aligned it will not push back?
Great video. I really hope that you reply to comments? I really need your advice on how run the gas line inside the fireplace, so it’s easier to start like you did. My gas knob is on the left side, but it’s about half way inside, so it’s not safe. I want it where the knob is out like yours. Pls help. Thanks. 👍🙏
any reason why holding 20 secs is required? our is does lit in Pilot but if we turn it to left, the pilot is gone, not sure what is happening? Any thoughts ?
The pilot mode doesn't stay lighted once I release the knob. I've held the knob for a min or so. How long should I hold the knob in? Is something wrong with my fireplace? Please advise!
+t is mentioned in this video that the flue needs to be open 24/7 with glass doors for keeping your heat in. I am just learning also. Something you may want to look into. ua-cam.com/video/yg4F_I3dTsU/v-deo.html
I have a similar set up but no Pilot igniter. It's just a gas line the goes directly to tray. Is this right? please help! 1st time gas place user and home owner.
Yours sounds like the “Chuck and duck”. You turn on the gas and light the burner manually with a looong match or lighter. Hold it near where the gas connects to the burner pan for less whoosh. Be careful.
I see that this video is old but I wonder if you know why fire goes out after 10 min it just can’t stay on got very long then I have to start all over again Thanks
Could be a dirty pilot or a bad part on the pilot. Usually dirty. Clean the pilot off with some steel wool or a scratch pad . You can also blow it out with a can of air. Needs to be off and cool for this obviously.
Damper should be open if you have a vented set. They produce Carbon Monoxide. 😵 . If you don’t know if your set is vented or not, look for sand or sand like stuff in the bottom or soot on the logs. If either are there, it needs to be vented.
Chanya Nya if the pilot light doesn't stay on the the thermocouple may be bad or too far from the flame. That is the copper wire attached to the pilot light bracket and the gas safety valve. Worst case the valve could be bad.
If you have fake logs, and can't open the flue, then don't light the fire! Those logs emit fumes that apparently can be fatal if they are going into the house rather than up the chimney.
The best explanation on UA-cam, especially since many cover fireplaces with starter buttons. Thanks!!!

Thanks for posting this. I know it sounds simple but if you’ve never done it before it can be scary.

🔥🙏🏽🔥
I want to say thank you very much for this video. After many failed attempts at trying to light my fireplace I finally got it thanks to you!
Thank you - so useful: clear instruction and shows where the gas light is - Thank you again
This did the trick for me. Hold in the pilot while lighting.
Thanks!
My brother, this video has been most illuminating! We've been going nuts trying to figure out our ancient Peterson fireplace. Thank you!
THANK YOU! OMG this fireplace has the same exact equipment. We were messing with it and didn't notice the pilot knob until now lol. We were about to blow ourselves up haha. Thank you!
Such a cristal clear explanation. Very helpful. I managed to lit mine in 10 minutes after 6 months.
Thank you I’m Texas you don’t have idea how happy my family is right now
Who are the 53 idiots that didn't find this helpful? What a helpful video- thanks for saving me an hour every year I do this!

Thanks! Never did this before. You saved my evening in front of the 🔥
Mine went off due to high winds - watched this short video and it saved me $150! THANK YOU!

Easy to follow! I got my fireplace started in 20 seconds. Thank you.
Thank you! This worked a treat.
THIS HELPED ME A MILLION!! I ANIT HAVE TO PAY NOBODY TO DO AHA THANK GOD FOR UA-cam AND YOU
Thanks! Just got mine delivered today. My other set has a push button starter, and my new vented does not. Very helpful.
Every year I forget how to do this, and every year this helps!

Thanks for the sharing the video. It is so easy to follow, i could easily do it. Saved money not calling a technician 😀
I have the exact ly same fire place but As soon as I leave the piolet the fire goes off , how to fix that . ?
Thank you! We were able to restart a fireplace that hasn't been started in 7 years.
Nailed it, thank you!
Thanks !!!!!! Clear and precise instructions
I'm thinking about getting gas logs, but I have to laugh. Will it still work if I count out loud and not just in my head? Seriously, very helpful video. Thanks.

Cold day in SC... Cold enough for me to seek guidance on lighting my gas fireplace for the first time.. Thanks
I cannot thank you enough

Thank you o much and this video help me to turned my gas fire place on
thanks! this was exactly what I needed.
Very helpful, thank you.
One more question, do I still need to put the log/charcoals on the rack after lighted? Or shall I just use gas? Thanks
This video did the trick! Thank you!!
The pilot mode doesn't stay lighted once I release the knob. I've held the knob for a min or so. How long should I hold the knob in? Is something wrong with my fireplace? Please advise!
Can i leave the fireplace with no logs and only the flame?
This video states the material the logs are made of, radiate the heat.
ua-cam.com/video/yg4F_I3dTsU/v-deo.html
Yes, if you want. You might like to add some fire glass .
Great video,
Thank you Joe! It worked!!!!!!
Thanks! Totally helped us.
Worked like a charm. One question, can you leave the pilot lite like on a water heater?
Michael Anderson Yes.
I have the exact fireplace, I got it started. Now I can’t figure out how to fix the wall switch. I have to turn the fireplace manually all the time.
So easy, thanks
thumbs up to you buddy! Thanks for teaching me this in such easy language and a dumb proof video :-)
Thank you so much!
Do I need to have the flue open when I have the gas fireplace on?
+t is mentioned in this video that the flue needs to be open 24/7 with glass doors for keeping your heat in. I am just learning also. Something you may want to look into.
ua-cam.com/video/yg4F_I3dTsU/v-deo.html
Depends on your laws in your area, your burner system and the fuel being used and at what btu. Don't kill yourself not venting a vented system.
I have a similar set up but no Pilot igniter. It's just a gas line the goes directly to tray. Is this right? please help! 1st time gas place user and home owner.
Yours sounds like the “Chuck and duck”. You turn on the gas and light the burner manually with a looong match or lighter. Hold it near where the gas connects to the burner pan for less whoosh. Be careful.
My valve button sticks, can I use wd40 on it? It doesn't pop back out anymore I have to pull it out.
Thanks 🙏🏽
Worked perfectly
Thanks
All of these models should have been required to have a standard piezo igniter included.
I see that this video is old but I wonder if you know why fire goes out after 10 min it just can’t stay on got very long then I have to start all over again
Thanks
Could be a dirty pilot or a bad part on the pilot. Usually dirty. Clean the pilot off with some steel wool or a scratch pad . You can also blow it out with a can of air. Needs to be off and cool for this obviously.
Should the damper stay open or closed though, when using gas only to heat up? 😯
Damper should be open if you have a vented set. They produce Carbon Monoxide. 😵 . If you don’t know if your set is vented or not, look for sand or sand like stuff in the bottom or soot on the logs. If either are there, it needs to be vented.
How to change battery for remote operate?
right on man! thanks!
Thanks, man!
Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you
After pilot is on turn knob and not stay on what can I do
Who can install the pilot gas assembly? a Plumber?
thanks this was perfect!!!!!
Thank you!!! C:
Mine doesn’t say pilot, on or off :(
What If The Light Doesn't Stay On ?
Chanya Nya if the pilot light doesn't stay on the the thermocouple may be bad or too far from the flame. That is the copper wire attached to the pilot light bracket and the gas safety valve. Worst case the valve could be bad.
Hold in for a few MINUTES?
And I didn't blow up! Thanks!!
What if you can’t figure out how to open the damn flue
If you have fake logs, and can't open the flue, then don't light the fire! Those logs emit fumes that apparently can be fatal if they are going into the house rather than up the chimney.
Robert Dooley yeah no kidding I just want to know how to open the flue lol
Help
I do not hear gas flowing. Is theres a switch or anything i need to set?
Thank you!
Thank you!
