If you've seen a question 100 times answer it the 101st time or ignore it. Even better, write a complete, detailed answer and suggest that the mod(s) pin it to the community.
-
There will be ZERO tolerance for shaming, brigading, harassment, or other nonsense of those who keep, hunt, harvest, and process animals. [See rule 98.] You will be permanently banned the first time. You are NOT morally superior because you choose not to.
-
If you post a picture that includes blood, gore, or a dead animal mark it NSFW. We're not going to tolerate the militant anti-hunting and anti-farming bullshit here but we're also not going to tolerate people rubbing their hunting and harvesting in people's faces. [See rule 98.] If you post blood, gore, or dead animals and don't mark it NSFW it will be removed.
[Did you actually think there were 98 rules?]
-
If you present something as fact and are asked to provide proof or a source provide proof or a source. Proof must be from a reliable source. If you fail to provide proof or a source your post or comment may be removed.

Don't be a dick. Yes, this is a catch-all rule. Yes, you absolutely can be permanently banned for Rule 98 violations.

The mod(s) have the final say.

Yeah I figure that's sadly why all these dealers I spoke to don't want to touch it. They may not have any staff currently trained up on them now, plus if they don't stock parts any more... it's no longer worth their time. I'm really surprised though, as I thought pellet stoves were still quite popular on the island (though they're all older installs now, I guess...)
A fireplace is not a throwaway item though; I had hoped the company that installed it for the home's previous owners (only 12 years ago) would still at least look at it. They were willing to 4 years ago and didn't mention anything about dropping pellet stoves entirely at the time.
Well, anyhow I hope I can keep the unit going -- replacement part was approx. $18, so worth a try before considering replacing with a propane fireplace that I was quoted at 6-7K (eeks!) It's been great the last 10 years, a really dependable unit.
