>If you pre-heat the system by running on DC for a little bit you may >find that the lighting goes a bit easier... Saturday morning, my fridge was being especially stubborn. Finally, I watched the flame in the sight glass while I lit it. The flame lit right away, then died out in about 5 seconds while I was holding the button in. This happened several times. Since gas seemed to be getting there, maybe the flame was running out of air? So I lit the flame again, then gently fed air to it with the air pump. This kept the flame alive, and after a minute I stopped spoon feeding it and it continued to run. Maybe a fluke, but I'll keep it in my box of Dometic tricks. Chris '84 Westie "Buttercup"
