What to do if the pilot will not light on my Napoleon Grill?
- WWilliam BarreraAug 26, 2025
If the pilot on your Napoleon Grill won't light, after turning the pilot knob to high, wait approximately 20-30 seconds for air to purge the gas supply line while pressing the igniter. Fill the propane cylinder. During initial setup or after the tank has been refilled, it is best to light one of the tube burners before lighting the pilot burner. Clean the pilot orifice and electrode, and replace the lead wire if necessary. The pilot flame, especially on natural gas units, can be very difficult to see; place your hand 1 in. (2.5 cm) above the grill surface over the pilot burner to feel for heat. This can be caused by lack of gas, obstruction in the pilot orifice, a loose electrode wire, or a dirty pilot electrode.
