propane stove

I have an Atwood Wedgewood stove/oven and couldn't keep the pilot light lit. I thought it might be the thermocoupler, but as I kept reading, I wanted to try the most inexpensive fixes first. I found on the forums and about the oven knob being too long and metal shaft being too short (or something like that). The suggestions were to put some aluminum foil inside the oven knob enough to push the metal shaft in and light the pilot light. Voile!!! It worked! The pilot stayed lit and I could then turn it to the desired oven temperature! Thanks to this forum!
