Dirty nozzle or perhaps enough of a down draft that the gas isn't
igniting when it should?

If it isn't obvious, might be safer to have a repair person check over
the unit. Faulty systems can produce CO as well as become a fire
hazard.


with everything off can I take the nozzel off and blow it out with an
airhose?


I don't see why not. If orifice is worn, you may need to replace it.
