I purchased a 20 year old home with a Martin Venturi pellet stove. I have not used the stove yet because I do not know if I need to light it manually or does it light automatically. I question this due to the fact that it has a thermostat attached and think it would have to start with the thermostat if it was off for a while during the warmer time of the day. Does anyone have any ideas on this? Does anyone know where I can get a manual on my particular stove on-line. I can not find a website for Martin Industries or Venturi pellet stoves. Thanks, Karin
