    Yep a thermocouple would be my recommendation also but make sure the pilot flame is strong enough to activate the thermocouple to start with. This is the time of year when we find many pilot orifices restricted by dirt or spider webs after sitting all summer without being used.

Lighting the pilot [ 1 Answers ]

I can't light my pilot. Because there's no pilot button to push, it has a control knob; that only goes to on or off. The knob doesn't depress down or up. It has a pilot adjust screw and that's it. How do I light it?
