Just a thank you shouted out to Snowy Rivers for her great thread on rewiring a Whittfield. I have a friend who is an electrician help me out and we were able to rewire the thing and get rid of the faulty control board and spent less than $100 doing it, vs the ridiculous price to rebuild or buy a new one.

In fact my electrician friend only had to by a timer and variable speed control switch, all the other things he had around his workshop. Almost everything on the stove now can be replaced for under $100 so I can just keep this thing going for a very long time without all the drama of some chip going south.

It runs like a champ and in fact uses less pellets and burns better because I am able to adjust the on/off times of the auger and have it dialed-in perfectly.

Now to try hazelnut shells next!

Thanks again!

Better watch out....Snowy is pretty protective of her source for cheap heat. :grrr:
 
I thought rivers were wet... or frozen!
 
There are some people inside the beltway who could learn a thing or two from Snowy's ways of solving problems. she is a no nonsense problem solver. She gets my vote of confidence!

No meds needed! All natural here. We'll I'll add one too many brews and falling of the stool. Landed on head and a bit dizzy could have added to this! ;-)

Whats your excuse? :cheese:
