Hot water tank in the house was on the fritz. It was one of those smart ones. Computerized auto restart and fault code LED lights. It was shutting down and reporting flame out, flame weak, etc. Repair guy told me how much it would cost to replace the board and sensor. Yikes! He recommended an old school hot water tank. It's quite not your, "light with match type," lol. Piezoelectric starter, but he told me the pilot light shouldn't be going out, anyway. I've had the hot water tank for a month now and no issues whatsoever. It's not energy star, but it has no electric controller. Repair guy told me since no electricity is required, I'd be saving whatever the rebates were worth, less the headaches.

Sometimes, simple is better.

Dirty look from MG1 can melt steel beams.
