Yep...upside-down then right-side-up for 8-12 hours each direction. Repeated 4 times over the past 5 days....we were really surprised the burping didn't work, we thought 'clog' too.

There is a teeny tiny, (less than 3/32") yellow spot (ammonia) by one of the joints to the pilot burner. But it looks old & dirty and there isn't any yellow anywhere else inside the compartment where the unit sits. If it would have just leaked out last weekend, I would expect more yellow staining & I'm sure I would have noticed the odor....I have a super-sniffer.
