I have a Vista Flame VF 100 stove.

Ok, here's my problem:

Had a power surge which shorted out my igniter so that when I would start the stove it would almost instantly blow the fuse in the control board. Yeah, lesson learned on having my stove plugged into a surge protector.

So, I got the new igniter, got it all installed, started the stove up. No blown fuse, pellets fell in the burn plate, it all heated up, got a flame, things seemed great.

About 10 minutes after that I started smelling smoke. Go to the stove, it's shut off and smoke is pouring out of the air intake pipe.

Now the stove won't turn back on. Not at all.

Please help!
