As a first-time homebuyer, I was a bit lost when it came to using my fireplace, and my realtor didn't have the details from the seller. Instead, I was given a chimney specialist's contact and told it could cost around $100 for assistance. Thankfully, I stumbled upon your video and, by following your instructions, managed to light the fireplace with ease! Thank you so much for sharing that video. Fireplaces indeed warm homes, but it’s your kindness that warms our hearts!
God bless you! My husband always handled these things and tonight you helped an old widow out! In July 2023 when my husband was on hospice for cancer, we turned off the pilot light because it was making the living room too warm. I have kept it off until now, but we are expecting a storm and could lose power anytime. So at 3 a.m. I decided I better not freeze when I heard it was 15 degrees outside. You saved me! Thanks so much! Me and my new kitten are snuggly warm now! ❤ My husband would thank you too!😊
Please don't ever take this down. Since 2016 I have looked this up every spring and fall to turn on and off and would be lost without it. Thank you so much!
This is easily the most valuable video on RUclips for me personally. Once a year I am asked to turn on the pilot light at my parents house and each year this saves me from looking incompetent
Thank you for showing me how to do this. My husband recently passed away unexpectedly and I’m left to do all the things he did. We’re having a blizzard right now so having the fireplace going gives me piece of mind. Thank you!
I'm so sorry for your loss. I was widowed once. The first two years were the toughest to get through. Learning how to take care of everything alone and in mourning is really tough. Thank goodness for the folks who take the time to create these tutorials. A little help goes a long way.
My dad died unexpectedly when I was 10. I remember my mom and I being baffled by lighting the pilot on our fire place. It is one of the standout moments in my mind of us healing. This was in the days before RUclips so we just had to trial and error our way through it. Every fall when we would light the pilot, we would reflect on how far we'd come . Since I moved out of my mom's house it has been a few years since I've had to light a pilot. This year my wife and I have a house with a gas fireplace and I needed a refresher. Your comment reminded me of the silent ritual my mom and I would have together each fall lighting the pilot. I hope you find solace and healing. More than 17 years later my mom and I still think about my dad, but have been able to build new lives for ourselves. I sincerely hope you are able to do the same. Keep the memories alive, heal, and move on.
@@nooranik21 I love your comment so much. It tells a story of love, loss, healing, moving forward, memories & never forgetting those who have gone before us.
In lsIam, if you married 10 wives and 2 died you stiII have 8! That's why it's important you Iisten to your imam. And they must have show presents as weII and maintain their attractiveness so when we feeI down we can aIways count on them. Sometimes aII of them at the same time when reaIIy hard.
Three months after the pilot light had gone out I had given up trying to get a tech to come to the house.. Then I found your video. Worked like a charm! Much obliged!
First time visitor. You saved me from FREEZING. I moved into a Rental that has this brand of Fireplace. It's Dark and Windy and the Electric Heater can't keep up with the chilly weather like I thought it might. Less than 4 MINUTES Later and I have a Safe, Toasty Fire. THANK YOU For The Demo and ALL THE BEST To You, Your Loved Ones. and Those Reading This! - Leilani
This video worked! You helped me solve my problem! Husband was useless, he’s not handy. HVAC guy said, probably needed a new system. Handyman said $165, just to come out. Now, I know how to turn it off, and turn it on, and good to know about the gas valve. Maybe that’s why our bills were always so high, bleeding gas! A very big thank you, stay safe!
@@Kybone Ya that was a savage comment 🤣 My husband isn't handy but he works his butt off and I am handy but stay home with the kids. Team effort is right!
This is the first time lightning my gas fireplace. I’ve always had a friend do it. This video gave me confidence and expertise to do it myself. THANKS FOR THE BREVITY AND THE PRECISION! 👍🏾👍🏾
I would like to say thank you for this video. My mother-in-law just recently became a widow. I was at her house when she asked me to help her turn her fire plcace on because of your video we were able to do it. Thank you so much for the visual step by step!! You truly helped 2 women in distress👭
Thank you. This video made a difference in 2024. Very clear and concise plus your instructions are relevant to the Majestic model. One noticeable and scary thing is the shut off valve was already parallel to the pipe meaning gas was being supplied even though we haven't used this fire place till now. Man this was a bad incident waiting to happen. Great video
I have used your instructions at least three times over the years and it has been so helpful! I have the original instructions but after so long they have become partially obscured and unusable. Thank you so much for your video! It's so easy! Thanks to you.
I have never lit a fireplace, before today. Thank you for your instructions. The only thing in the video it did not show was the switch on the wall. It took me about ten minutes to figure it out that when you said flip the switch that is what you meant. Now I know. Thanks again:)
Thanks, first time in 20 yrs the pilot went out on our Gas Fire Place Stove....first thing I did was call the repairman, had to leave a message with their answering service, I thought the Fire Place had a larger issue. The Fire Place was over 20 yrs old, had to to be something big, right? Then while I was waiting for the call back from the technician, I went to RUclips, found your video, in 6 mins, pilot was lit, I adjusted the flame a little bit and working fine.....very simple thing but if you don't do something for long while sometimes you forget. Thanks again!! Happy New Year!!
My frosty feet are deeply grateful. I’m a widow and I either just leave the pilot light on all summer or hope I can get someone else to do it! Not the first clue where the original instructions are but I feel much more empowered to know how my fireplace works should light up. Easy peasy, thank you!!!
Thank you! We just moved into a house with a gas fireplace, and I couldn't figure out how to light it, but now, thanks to you, it's lit, and we're enjoying a lovely fire.
Thank you for the great video. Ever since we install the central air conditioner pilot light of the fireplace was off. I saw your video and follow the simple steps and my fireplace is working great. Thanks for saving me $150 for the simple diagnostic.
Thank you! I've called my husband for him to go over again on how to light the fireplace.(I've never used a gas fireplace he has shown me a few times but it scares me and it's made all that much worse when he starts yelling.. your video is the first one I came across and it worked just like u said ..I left it alone for 5 mins and then on 3 click came on perfect. Thank you for the step by step. Your my new RUclips husband..
7 years living in my house and this is my first time turning on the chimney cuz my furnace stopped working. Thanks man, you saved us from the low temperature and saved my pocket from my wife.
Adam, Thank you for posting a very clear (quality) video with easy to follow instructions. I like the fact that you left the WARNING notes up for the entire video. Great job !!
Thank you so much for this! We have had our home for three years now and just finally built up the courage to use the fireplace. I'm excited to now be part of the "check this video once a year" crew. ❤
this is great. i have the same one. mine is from 2003 and its never been used once since the house was built. i had to get an LP converter kit since it was designed for natural gas, and a new gas line in my crawl space because the people that built the house never installed one. i just got the line installed today and waiting for the gas company to turn on the propane tomorrow. this video is helpful since i can be sure i always operate it correctly.
I have used this video for the last 4 years since I bought my house and I am the only one that lights the fireplace up every year …Lol everyone else avoids it! Thanks for making it easy for me to understand❤
Thank you so much! My fireplace always works over 10 years, but just lately it has been suddenly off few times. I don't know why, what could cost the happen? I have learned from you on youtube and turn it on every time.
So I have asked my husband for about 2 years now to figure out how to do this. Well, after your 3 minute video and 1 minute following your directions, I did it!!! I feel so proud of myself. Thx!!!!
Thanks so much! Last Winter we had to have an expert come into our house and show us how to light the pilot. It went out again tonight and we couldn't remember what the guy showed us. Your video is great! Even though my fireplace is slightly different.
I just moved into a rental. I struggled with igniting the pilot light for several minutes, then watched this video. There is now a fire in the fireplace. Thank you so much!
I watch your video twice a year for the past 5 years 😂 you’re a life saver literally! My biggest fear is blowing up if I do this wrong and with your instructions I’ve survived so far
Thank you!!!! That saved me easily $200 or more to call someone to "fix" my fireplace. Hint: you can first check if you have the spark from the pilot light by pushing the red button (only). If you do, you know the electric part is good. In my case the "pilot position" was very finicky, so it took me a while to find the right spot, but I knew my electric spark was fine, so I focused there.
Thank you! It took me a few tries, holding the pilot button down is the key component to getting it going for those who have never used this system before!
Thanks for the video and info. Just what I needed to light the fireplace pilot light this fall. Helps to kind of take a high level approach and provide simple specific info on what needs to happen. Much clearer than the instructions that come with the fireplace. Thanks ~
Every year I feel like “i must be doing something wrong!!!” I come on, find this same video and then I hear you say “if it’s been off for a long time you may have to hit the striker a few more times” and I’m like ohhhhhh that’s right!! Thanks again!
I've always been TERRRIFIED of gas anything and lighting it (even when someone lights a bbq- I take cover JUST IN CASE) But now I'm on my own- and need to do it myself and found this video ages ago. Took the plunge (fully expecting to go up in flames/explosions) but he does it so easily and instructs perfectly. Thank you for I do believe what is the 4th time!
Thank you SO much. Went on a first legit date with a girl I had known since highschool and the cabin was cold AF. I'm used to other fireplaces but not this one. Kept us warm, thanks so much!!!
Sir, thank you for this video! It's actually not all that easy to recall the order of the instructions but you've laid them out nicely. Merry Christmas
@@Brwnsug84 how do I connect a switch? I have to take the front off and light the pilot everytime I want heat .. can I attach a thermostat and/or a switch?
Thanks for this video, I come back to it every time I need to do the pilot light on mine cause by the time I need to light it I've forgotten how. Ur a true gem.
Thanks for clear instructions in gonna save. I just moved into a new house and the dealer and builder were no help and wanted me to get a technician in for $180 for the Napoleon Ascent Linear™ Series BL46. Luckily my brother got her lit and your video was very straight forward. Cheers 🍻 🔥🇨🇦
9 years later and your video still helps, i had an idea on how to start one since growing up, at my parents house was a wood burning fireplace, now im dealing with a gas one and your video help me get pass on getting the actual flames lol getting the pilot lit was easy, then i was stomped after that lol..
Thank you Adam for the video!) Tricky was to keep pushing ignition about 30 times before pilot was on. But trickiest was "flip the switch" on 2:45! WHAT SWITCH? Finally I figured it out - it was in line with other two standard light switches close to the fireplace.
Thanks! I struggled with lighting my fireplace for 30 min until I saw this video. Took me five seconds to figure out what I did wrong. My mistake was having the gas on "on" before I started the electric igniter. The key is to start the electric igniter before turning on the gas.
Thank you SO MUCH!!! My strata chooses to shut the gas off to our building during the spring/summer and early fall. I have been freezing (b/c I refuse to turn on the electric heat) Today, I JUST found out that the gas was restored a week ago (no one told me) but thank goodness! Then...I didn't know how to light my pilot light but I REALLY wanted to get it up and running as we have 'storms' coming through tonight and again on Saturday. I wanted to be sure that I was going to have some heat and light in the case of a power outage! Thank you SO VERY MUCH for a simple, easy to understand and see - how to light my fireplace. The inside is almost exactly the same as mine (with the exception of the valve lever). I will save this tutorial as I know for certain that I will be referring to it again (the instruction sheet was not very clear or easy to understand) Thank you again and take care!
Thank you so much! I was taught how to do this once when i first moved in months ago so naturally ive forgotten and the instructions have completely faded away and arent legible. This helped me finally get it on! I got nervous about carbon monoxide posioning so i only had it on for 10 minutes but once i can confirm the flue is open i cant wait!

I just moved into a rental. I struggled with igniting the pilot light for several minutes, then watched this video. There is now a fire in the fireplace. Thank you so much!
Rather important error: the shutoff valve should be parallel to the pipe to turn the gas Oon, NOT perpendicular to it. Perpendicular is OFF.
Glad someone clarified that!
He actually switched it to parallel but said perpendicularl may be it's just slip of tongue 👅😛
He literally says he meant parallel on the upper left corner of the screen lol
Thank you!!!
I just commented this earlier, didn’t see you had. Thanks. Had to make sure I wasn’t trippin
I watch your video twice a year for the past 5 years 😂 you’re a life saver literally! My biggest fear is blowing up if I do this wrong and with your instructions I’ve survived so far

@@barryfinnegan5718 I don't know how to connect a switch. My fireplace came with one on the side of it

After I turn it on and want to keep it on for the winter, do I turn it to pilot or on and off every time I use it?
tony jozepovic leave it in the on position. Once cold weather is here, leave the pilot light on, and then just use the hi lo knob

I want to see a screenshot of the statistics on this video. to see how many views it gets in the fall/winter lol.
9 years later and your video still helps, i had an idea on how to start one since growing up, at my parents house was a wood burning fireplace, now im dealing with a gas one and your video help me get pass on getting the actual flames lol getting the pilot lit was easy, then i was stomped after that lol..
You said "perpendicular" but I think you meant "parallel"
Yes he meant to say parallel.
Very useful. I watch this every year around Christmas time when I need to turn on my fireplace.
Thank you Adam for the video!) Tricky was to keep pushing ignition about 30 times before pilot was on. But trickiest was "flip the switch" on 2:45! WHAT SWITCH? Finally I figured it out - it was in line with other two standard light switches close to the fireplace.
Thank you very much! It’s snow week, and I turned my fire place like you said! Your video is very helpful!
Thanks and stay warm ❄️
Thanks! I struggled with lighting my fireplace for 30 min until I saw this video. Took me five seconds to figure out what I did wrong. My mistake was having the gas on "on" before I started the electric igniter. The key is to start the electric igniter before turning on the gas.
Perfect. Was struggling to turn on the fireplace at our new place. Watched this video and Got it started. Thank you so much.
I’ve read the comments….now I don’t feel bad that I watch this every year for startup!
Back again!
Thank you again (3 years running) 😂. I'm always so proud when I get it going every fall.
You’re a lifesaver, my heat has been out for a few days and I couldn’t figure out how to do this !!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My parents asked me to turn it on and this video has helped me turn it on and off for the past 3 years legend 💪
This is the best video...I have been constantly refering to it every fall on how to safely light the gas fireplace!
First year owning my home. Wasnt sure if it was working. Watched your vid and got it to turn on in 5 minutes. Thanks again!
Thank you SO MUCH!!! My strata chooses to shut the gas off to our building during the spring/summer and early fall. I have been freezing (b/c I refuse to turn on the electric heat) Today, I JUST found out that the gas was restored a week ago (no one told me) but thank goodness! Then...I didn't know how to light my pilot light but I REALLY wanted to get it up and running as we have 'storms' coming through tonight and again on Saturday. I wanted to be sure that I was going to have some heat and light in the case of a power outage! Thank you SO VERY MUCH for a simple, easy to understand and see - how to light my fireplace. The inside is almost exactly the same as mine (with the exception of the valve lever). I will save this tutorial as I know for certain that I will be referring to it again (the instruction sheet was not very clear or easy to understand) Thank you again and take care!
Annual viewing of this video...helps me EVERY year!
Thank you so much! I was taught how to do this once when i first moved in months ago so naturally ive forgotten and the instructions have completely faded away and arent legible. This helped me finally get it on! I got nervous about carbon monoxide posioning so i only had it on for 10 minutes but once i can confirm the flue is open i cant wait!
Thanks. We have a house showing in half an hour and seeing as it's minus 26 degrees here today, this is a nice house feature to display.
Thank you for posting this. I come back to the same video every time because I never remember the steps.
I wish I could hug you. Thank you so much. I couldn't remember how to do it to save my life.
Thanks, watching this save me a bunch of time. I didn’t know about pressing and holding the pilot button!
Lots of people overlook that the first time they do this. Youre not alone.
We leave ours on anyway,only relight it once in a blue moon if it goes out.
