We heat our living room with a freestanding Blaze King Pegasus 9202 gas (propane) stove. Came home today and the pilot light was out. I figured it was probably an issue with the thermopile, and I had a spare one, so I replaced it. Same issue.
Did some more testing, and it turns out that both the thermopiles I have hit 300 mV under direct flame, which is supposed to be enough to trip the valve to stay on. With a meter on the leads, I go past 300 pretty quickly. When I have the leads tied into the valve, it takes much longer and never goes over 200. I'm thinking maybe the solenoid inside the valve is bad, but I just wanted to hit up the hive mind here and see if anyone has any experience or thoughts.
