I have a gas fireplace, and everything seems to work fine, but the pilot light is too far from the main fire area. For example, when the unit is on, i can hear the gas running but in order to light i have to blow the gas over to the pilot light. Is there a way to move the pilot light closer? Or should I call a professional?:o

Can you say, Gas fireplace haircut? I am sure you get quite the fireball when it first fires up.

Without make/model number, it is difficult to figure out what is causing this issue.
