what did people use to wrap food before aluminum foil or plastic wrap?
Whatever answers you got before are valuableI really got scared when I tried to turn on the pilotit took a lot of time to figure out how to do and scared about the gas leakIt's easy, once you know how to do that, but otherwise don't mess with itGet someone who did this before, if you are not able to see a manual or instruction sheet attached to the furnace,
If you don't know what you are doing, don't mess with itIn most cases there is a reason the pilot has gone outEither a defective thermocouple or gas valveCall a qualified service company.
Don't do thatDo not touch anythingJust call the Gas Company, tell them you smell gasThey have to come outFeign ignorance, and he will light the pilot for youIt will take 5 seconds of his time after he gets there.
first of all two heads are better than one,you should never try something that has a moderate risk factor alone it is usually hidden from view[the pilot tube] by a flash shield, after about five to ten Seconds ,holding the pilot[red] button almost anywhere under the flash plate should work search only for a few Seconds at a time if you hear a little puff that it,but continue to hold buttondefinitely have another person there.I have much respect for gas electric and fast cars bless you,from me.d.shadow[ps., hold the pilot button down as you turn the main burner on,ok.
There was waxed paper and butcher's paper the people used to wrap food inThey also used newspapers and cheeseclothNative Americans and the peoples of the South Pacific islands used leaves and thin pieces of bark for wrapping as wellWA
