NO, this can be dangerous. -Time to call a gas technician.
The amount of propane a pilot light uses per day can vary, but on average, a pilot light consumes about 1 to 2 gallons of propane per month.
A pilot light typically consumes about 2 to 3 gallons of propane per month.
A pilot light typically uses about 600-900 cubic feet of propane per year.
A fireplace pilot light typically consumes about 600-900 BTUs (British Thermal Units) of propane per hour.
A pilot light in a typical gas appliance uses about 600-900 cubic feet of propane per year.
A pilot light in a typical gas appliance burns about 600-900 BTUs (British Thermal Units) of propane per hour.
its a pilot light, it burns the propane slowly so the propane doesnt just fill your house so that when you DO light it, it doesnt all explode. The small flame is the 'pilot light,' and it is there as a source of ignition for the propane gas entering the heater.
If you have run out of propane and need to restart your heat, you will need to contact your propane provider to schedule a delivery. Once the propane is delivered and the tank is filled, you can relight the pilot light on your heating system following the manufacturer's instructions. It's important to ensure proper ventilation and safety measures are in place when dealing with propane.
Yes, you typically need to change the pilot orifice when switching from propane to natural gas. Propane orifices are smaller than natural gas orifices due to the different properties of the gases. Using the incorrect orifice can lead to improper fuel combustion and potential safety hazards. Be sure to consult the manufacturer's guidelines or a professional for proper installation.
All unvented gas logs must have a safety pilot. Also all vented gas logs that are for propane must have a safety pilot. Vented gas logs that use Natural gas do not require safety pilots as the pressure is half that of propane although I would still recommend safety pilots on all installs.

Yes, a propane pilot light produces as much carbon dioxide per hour as a human being does per hour. Both human respiration and burning propane release carbon dioxide as a byproduct of the combustion process.
