Sorry for the waste of bandwidth but I had to share this with people who would
understand my joy.

Thanks to all who replied to my post yesterday --- the consensus was that I
should try lighting the
fridge after I'd run it on AC for awhile. I did this last night and it fired
right up. I was delighted and somewhat stunned.
I turned it off and lit it again. I felt the comforting heat on the burner box.
I touched the exhaust stack to see if it was
warm. Ouch --- damn, that gets way hotter on propane than on AC.

Now I just have to put it back in the van and hope it continues to light in
there..............

Thanks again to all of you --- and particularly to Frank Condelli and Sean
Bartnik whose web postings
on Fridge care and feeding were invaluable.

I'm so happy!!!!!!

Cheers,
Doug
