Question:

Can't find any info on propane gas Earthstove On proper air and gas mixture Every time propane ignites it explodes have tried fresh air more or less doesn't seem to work it explodes so hard it will bow out pilot light. Manufacturer is very hard to get ahold of and is little help



Answer:

Dan, this is very dangerous. Contact Earth Stove or your dealer right away. The pilot may need to be moved in relation to the burner so that the LP ignites easier.
