I've got a Tiara 1 that was converted to LP. I'm trying to hook up a thermostat to control it, but the wires are confusing. There's a red wire with a female spade connection, brown wire with a male spade connection and a black wire with a female spade connection. Does anyone know how to hook a plain old thermostat up to this stove?
 
If there is a terminal block on the valve, it will be labeled TH, TP & TH - TP. The termial with the letters TH ( Thermostat) are where the wires need to be connected

I can read TP on the top terminal. That’s for one end of the thermopile. I can’t read the second one down, or the bottom one, but I’m willing to bet that they are the terminals you want. If the pilot is lit & you “ jump” them with a short piece of wire or a paper clip, the unit should come on. If it does, hook your thermostat there.
 
Thanks @DAKSY ! I found a wire that had come unhooked from the switch itself. Once I fixed that the thermostat, connected to the red and brown wires, worked a treat.
