How to Light a Gas Fireplace

Nothing makes a cool night cozier than a warm glow from a hearth. Unlike building and maintaining a wood fire, a propane or natural gas fireplace makes enjoying a fire simple. Achieving a toasty fire is as easy as knowing how to light a gas fireplace.

Always refer to your unit’s manual for specific instructions. In most cases, you’ll be lighting the pilot light once a year.

Pro tip, if you load up your gas fireplace with a bunch of old scrap iron, it will keep the room warm for a couple of hours after you turn it off.

I haven’t turned in my fireplace since 4 years ago until Just now. Is there anything I should be concerned about having it on now.

You should NEVER turn on gas to an appliance without the igniter being lit first....build up of gas could cause an explosion in your face.
