The pilot would light, but die as soon as I released the knob or turned it to any temperature position. Some interneting said the likely problem was the thermocouple, however I read two different folks say that stuffing some foil into the knob solved this problem for them.
I had problems with the knobs before and I lubed them with "Super Slick Stuff." It comes in spray can and does lube but dries to a clear finish. You probably wouldn't want to use any regular lube spray due the flammability issue. I just sprayed a tiny bit into the valve where the knob shaft enters it, then turned it on/off a few times to make sure it penetrates before it dries. Turn off the gas at the tank before doing this.
No problems since.
