    Furnace catching fire
    Our heating furnace is powered by propane gas. There is a weird smell coming from it and when I relit the pilot light & turned the thermostat to "on" fire started blowing out of the furnace.

    SHUT OFF THE GAS SUPPLY AND SHUT OFF THE POWER TO YOUR FURNACE AND CALL A SERVICE COMPANY TO SERVICE THE UNIT!! DO NOT RUN IT! Your furnace is sooted up due to either lack of combustion air or/or lack of proper LP gas supply / pressure. It will have to completely cleaned... in the current condition you have a VERY hazardous condition !
