Question:
I have noticed an orange ember type glow in the middle of our pilot light of our gas fireplace. I can't say that I have noticed it there before, and I am concerned that it is a problem.
Answer:
It is probably nothing. My guess is that it is: 1. A little rust or corrosion on the thermocouple which the flame hits. 2. A small piece of the glowing embers on same.
If everything is working as before, I doubt there is a problem.
