It was even explained to us at installation that we should expect that. I've seen several threads on here mentioning similar issues, where people waited for 15-30 seconds before it would fire in the mornings.

I thought it was normal, but you're saying it's a sign of failure on the way?
It's been normal since we got ours for that to happen. Every day we do a test fire to make sure it's warmed up, usually doesn't fire the first .25 or so, then it's fine the rest of the day. I heard it was a mod to cut the infant mortality rate on Epilog's tubes. It takes longer when it's colder, we try to keep the whole thing between 70 and 90
