I will start this with saying that I have perused the topics and read many of the lengthy discussions. Thank you! They have provided a wealth of information. I used this information to make my purchase today. It is a 1996 Whitfield Advantage WP2 pellet insert. After all the reading I found that Whitfield's are built like tanks and parts are still avaiable if needed. I like the sound of that. Paid $300 for it with some exhaust vent. Anyway, I plugged it in and started it up and everything seemed to be functioning. I had air coming out where it should be and the auger was moving, slowly, but moving. It is very dirty and I have the time now to clean it up and get it ready for next winter. yes next winter. I still have wood to burn this year. Any advice or tricks of the trade to get it clean and ready would be greatly appreciated. I am new to this and want to do it right. Also, I am in need of an owners manual for it. Serial number 099111 Manufactured 11/96 WP2 Advantage insert.
It needs a new piece of glass (thank goodness it's a flat piece!), a good cleaning and possible the power cord. I think I may have accidentally left it at the house which is 1.5 hours away. The previous owners were leaving for FL today for a funeral and won't be back for about a week or so. Would it be possible to wire it into a cord that goes into a receptacle? Or, should I really have the correct power cord for it? I have a blower for my fireplace right now that has a new power cord that I could just wire in if it would work.
I guess I gave my self a new project.
Any and all help is greatly appreciate, Jim
