Propane heater regulators can stop the flow of gas on the smaller emitters:






On bigger units the pilot light heat probe (thermocoupler) can be a problem. Get a handheld blowtorch and heat it up 5-10 seconds before opening the gas valve and lighting the pilot light.

I keep an extra termocoupler around for our house natty gas floor heater and a regulator hose for the portable in case the shop one acts up when the electricity goes out.
