The gas fireplace pilot light is always on to ensure that the main burner can ignite quickly and efficiently when the fireplace is turned on. The pilot light provides a continuous flame that is ready to ignite the gas flowing to the main burner, allowing for immediate heat production when needed.
Opening the air hole on a Bunsen burner before lighting it can create a flammable gas-air mixture that is highly explosive. This increases the risk of a flashback when the flame ignites, which can cause a sudden, intense flare-up and potential injury. It is important to always light a Bunsen burner with the air hole closed to prevent this dangerous situation.
No, a burner is not considered incandescent. Incandescent refers to light produced by a hot object, like an incandescent light bulb, not a heat source like a burner.

To effectively light a propane fire pit, first ensure the gas valve is fully closed. Then, open the lid and turn the gas valve to the "light" position.

WHO is teaching you to light Bunsen burners with matchsticks? That is so unsafe and wrong. You can get burned really easily like that, and Bunsen burner burns are always bad. Go to a hardware store and spend $5 on a spark lighter, like welders use to light their torches. Those are a safe way to light your burner.
Think it is just that the pilot light is lighting the main burner, which makes a booming sound.
With the air hole fully open, the flame will be fierce, but I doubt if it can be said to be dangerous. Simply close the air hole a little.
