I think I will replace the vent cover first. I am going to the city tomorrow
so I'll get a thermocoupler then. If the vent cover doesn't fix it I will
clean out the box sand replace the thermo. I just cleaned the bow and burner
in Sept. and haven't used it much since then. About 25-30 days is all.

I had an acquaintance whose gas pot-bellied stove (used to heat an

porch) would not stay lighted. Before he paid big bucks to have a

the
pilot/thermocouple area. Eureka! Afterwards, the stove lighted quickly and
stayed lit. Replacing the thermocouple would have provided the same
results.

I know about the cost aspect--we live in a cabin that is off the grid and
use a propane refer at home. years ago I had a friend who owned a junk
yard
and would get the occasional RV in. I had a unit from him and the cost of
the thermocoupler was four times the cost of a universal--and of course it
had "special threads".
