Hello experts! I could use some advice on what is wrong with my fire pit.
We received the fire pit for free from someone who no longer used it. Here is a link to it at Lowe's https://www.lowes.com/pd/Bond-Bond-Signature-36-6-in-W-50000-BTU-Brown-Composite-Fire-Table/50037280
I have not been able to get it to work yet. I have taken the whole thing apart and tested everything to make sure there were no clogs in the lines. I have also gotten a new control valve and thermocouple.
So, when everything is together, I cannot light it or get it to stay lit. I have been able to light it and keep it lit if I hold the control knob in. Once I take the pressure off of it, the flame goes out.
I don't know the technical terms, so please forgive me if I do not explain this correctly. I have figured out that the control knob pushes open the valve at the end where the thermocouple connects. I am guessing that when you open the valve, the gas pressure is supposed to keep that valve open? Is that correct? How can I overcome this issue?
Oh, I also forgot to mention that I used the lp regulator and hose (which works) from my grill to make sure it was not a broken regulator.
Thanks in advance
