Pilot won't stay lit!

I have an Intertherm gas furnace, Model#MGHA-056ABFC-01. approx. 19 yrs. old. Lately the pilot light won't stay lit in high wind situations. Seems to be a lot of back draft in the chamber. Have changed thermocoupler & tried adjusting, but today,especially w/ the winds that we had here in NE PA, had to relight 6 times. My wife talked w/ our LP supplier and they thought that the chimney needs to be extended, I'm not sure if that will help, but looking for a second opinion. Thank you in advance for any and all suggestions. Sincerely, Brian Ehrgood.

Hi Brian,

Sometimes extending the roof jack can help with that, but not always.


You can see and order an extension here by paging down :
