new wanderlodge owner needs help starting furnaces

[dru penland]

...unless the furnaces need to be removed to take dirt dobber nests and remove the rust from the burner slots. Mine were built up with rust anddebris so badly I had to dismantle the furnaces and clean all before they would ignite. Hope you have much better luck! Taking a furnace out can be a bear.

I opened up my propane tank and replaced some gaskets this past summer. Once I closed up and refilled the LP tank, all I had to do was turn on the leak detector thingy so that the gas would come on and then I just stood at the stove with a lit match against one burner and waited for the air to purge out of the lines. Once all 4 burners and the pilot were lit, I proceeded to turn on the reefer (the one you keep drinks in) and then let the furnaces cycle a few times. Some of them will try to re-ignite if they don't succeed the first time, but mine don't. See if they come on within 30 seconds of the blower turning on and if not, turn them off and try again. After doing this 2 or 3 times, they should all ignite with no problems.
