[AT] My new pellet/corn stove arrived friday

Dean,
 Do you have the parts and service book for your stove? My FIL has a
Whitfield and when it started acting up I hunted around. Lennox was nice
enough to put the books online. I also found a couple parts sources.

http://www.butkus.org/whitfield_pellet_stove.htm  nice info on pellet
stoves and repairing them
