Pilot in Atwood stove hard to light
I've got the typical 3 burner Atwood stove, about 3 years old, and the last few times we've had the trailer out, the pilot in the stove has been hard to light, taking forever. I eventually get it lit...

Take the Oven tstat knob off. Insert a small piece of paper inside the "D" shapped hole in the knob. This will cause the knob to NOT fully be inserted into the tstat metal shaft. The usual problem is, when you push the knob IN to light the pilot, you cannot get it fully pushed IN to allow the pilot gas flow. By shimming the knob you get the shaft to fully push IN and the gas flows. VERY common problem and easy fix. Doug
Good info, thanks. I recall reading a while back a guy did the same thing but he used a small piece of aluminum foil to accomplish the same thing.
