Shawn, you need to use air from an air compressor to blow air into the drain at the bottom of the fridge. 100 ~ 120 lbs. This will clear out the combustion chamber and tubes. Blow air then try to light. It may not stay lit the first time. Keep blowing air then re-light. It will eventually stay lit then should be fine thereafter. I've had some success in using a small plastic hose to blow air through it with my mouth when out at camping events.
