So, a weird thing happened this morning.
I candled my bisque overnight, but when I came out in the morning to turn on the burners proper, I found flame coming out of the primary air intake of the pilot. I had never seen this before & immediately turned off the gas - that's kinda my go-to move whenever anything unexpected is happening with the propane. I wish I had taken a photo to illustrate this post, but oh well. Probably anyone who would know the answer already knows what the primary air intake looks like.
The only difference I could observe between the pilot that was behaving normally & the one that was doing this unusual thing was the primary air intake was open a little wider on the odd one. That one was also a little harder to light last night. I don't remember opening or closing either of them but who knows?
I spun the disk to close the intake a little more, so it matched the other, then re-lit the pilots. Nothing unusual happened after an hour, so I went ahead & lit the burners.
Anybody have any ideas why that happened? I'm not gonna blow myself up, right?
No help here. But a dream I had about lighting an oven burner from the top burner of a gas stove. Finally turned off the gas to the oven, but I did dream the alternative with me flying across the room. Glad it was just a dream. I guess you know what you're dong!
ReplyDeleteLOL I wouldn't go that far! But the firing completed without incident, so even if I don't know the cause I guess the problem is fixed.
