    Thermopile not producing enough voltage

    I have a gas fireplace (Fireplace Xtrordinair 36 DV XL) with a millivolt system. It's around 20 years old. I'm using a millivolt compatible digital thermostat (White-Rodgers 1E78-140), but often there is not enough voltage (~459 mV) from the thermopile to operate the thermostat - it does not...

    Convection blower slow to come on and off - Quadrafire Classic Bay 1200 FS

    My stove (year 2000) calls for heat, ignites, drops pellets, and then lags to turn convection blower on (15+ minutes). Once it reaches temp, the convection blower lags to shut off... 30+ minutes after exhaust blower does. It's super noisy on startup too- grinding metallic noise, but that fades...
