Help with buddy heater

[Death from Above]

Pilot light will flame and burn. But the big flame or "heater" won't kick in. Any ideas?

Just a balmy 29 here...

Thanks

Something stopping up the pipe that feeds it? Or the thermocouple that senses the pilot light is bad? Does the pilot stay lit without you holding in the button?

[Mayhem]

how long have you held the button down?

Pilot light will run forever. Just can't get the panel to fame

Change bottles. I went thru 2 "new" full bottles with the same issue. Tried bottle #3 and no issues.

Got it. Dirt dobber had stopped up orafice for panel gas. One screw on bottom of heater releases the ceramic panel holder. Clean orafice and bingo.

Nobody says you have to be miserable to bowhunt.

I haven't been able to shoot a bow for six months. Setting in box blind with my son. Killed on coyote so far. With no heater we would have left an hour ago



And FTR I don't need a card to prove me manhood

Glad you got it, I was thinking dirt dobber too. They can mess up just about anything.

Good luck to y'all.
