Generally when you set furnace to call for heat, there is a delay for several seconds before the blower will start running, and if everything is OK burner should come on.
On my most recent trip I learned the hard way about propane flow. There is a special flow valve in the pigtail where it connects to the tank, and if you turn gas on too fast it restricts the flow of gas. System "thinks" that there is a major leak. If this happens stove will work, as it does not need a large flow to work. My stove worked, but he furnace would not.
To correct the problem turn off both tanks, light stove until it goes out. Now turn on gas valves SLOWLY to reset valve, and see if furnace will work.
