Any gas fireplace experts?

[Prone2Clone]

I just replaced the thermocouple in a Heatilator gas fireplace because the pilot light wouldn't stay lit. That fixed that problem, but when I tested it out before putting the log set back in, I'm getting this gigantic orange flame coming from where the gas enters the burner. I cleaned out the little ports in the burner and messed with the air shutter a little, but nothing seems to make this go away. No bueno.

Any ideas?

OK, fine. CF let me down for the first time ever. I figured it out on my own.

Pro tip: If you have this same issue in the future, just place with your orifice a little.

What you do with your orifice is your own business, really.

I had no idea I had so many. I have 7 out of the 8. How do I place it with my orifice? Glad you got it fixed without a bill$$$.

Examples of orifices

• Mouth: Used for eating, drinking, breathing, and speaking
  
  
• Nostrils: Used for breathing and the sense of smell
  
  
• Ear canals: Used for hearing
  
  
• Anus: Used for defecating waste products
  
  
• Urinary meatus: Used for micturition in both males and females, and ejaculation in males
  
  
• • Vaginal orifice: A median slit below and behind the opening of the urethra
  • Umbilicus: A concealed "natural orifice" that marks the spot where the umbilical cord was attached
  • Pore: A tiny orifice that allows the excretion of sebum and sweat

Sorry man. My brother works for the company and I didn’t get any time to message him today.

It’s more complex than that.

No problem.

Can’t believe we let this thread go to waste today

I don’t understand the explanation of the solution. I don’t have a gas fireplace but I’m now irrationally concerned that I may someday and then have this same problem.

Just don't micturate on the wrong rug. May be hard to get compensated for that.
