The pilot light on my gas fire won't stay on.
Any ideas?
As soon as I release the gas push-button, after the recommended twenty
seconds, the pilot light goes out.

It is probably the thermocouple
if you look at the flame (while holding the button) is there something the
flame is licking round?

Well ... I think so - and the manual makes reference to a thermocouple.
The stove is a Jotul GF 3 BV CE.
It's four years old.
For the first three years I left the pilot light on - but for this
summer I turned it off - and last week it wouldn't stay on.
Should I have left the pilot light on throughout the summer?
How much gas would that use, anyway?
