The ramifications were not good, I hooked up everything and it didn't work. I dug through the garbage and found the sensor, rewired it and success! Thanks so much ...... the thermostat is now working! Since it has been so warm, the stove wants to shut down, it reaches a good temperature quite easily. Is it better to switch to manual ignition? I thought I read it would burn at maintenance until the thermostat calls for more heat?

If the stove setting is Room Temp / auto, it will shut down between calls for heat. With it so warm, I am unsure why you wouldn't want it to shut down and save pellets. I, for example, have not switched my stoves from Room Temp / auto because it has not gotten cold enough to warrant having a maintenance burn. If you are worried about the ignitor - mine hasn't gone out after constant use yet - and I hear they are cheap (saves you more in pellets than what the igniter costs). Although, you may have extenuating circumstances - which may make it perfectly reasonable, so I'm not criticizing, just putting it out there for consideration.
If you put it on Room Temp / Manual (after starting of course), you stove should idle (burn at maintenance) until heat is called for.

Just wondering, couldn't find anything with a search .... how difficult is it to replace an igniter? I couldn't find any direction on how to do it. Mine is fine just wondering for future reference.
