I have a Jotul GF500DVMV
This stove has a timed pilot which the retailer did not know about when he sold me the stove. I use wood heat and when i am away i use electric baseboard set at about 55 deg f. Our power here is not real reliable but cheaper than propane. I installed this stove in case i lose power which as i said has happened occasionally and for a few days at a time. So this propane stove with the timed pilot is rather useless. If i had known this i would have purchased a electronic ignition powered by D cell battery which was the best option if the retailer knew what they were selling.
Can i replace the timed pilot with a regular pilot?
Thanks for any info that may help me out. I spent almost 5000.00 for the stove and vent so lets get rid of the timed pilot.
