I cleaned the end of the thermocouple per the manual, re-lit the pilot and it seems to be working okay now. I shut it down after about an hour and then brought it back up. No issue. Thanks for they conversation!

Does have a thermocouple according to the manual I found and printed. I also found another thread on here where someone had the same problem. Fan blows but pilot/burner won't light. Seems there is a reset button on the top of the unit that should clear the problem. I'm going to give that a...
