My wife goes home for lunch every day and yesterday she called me and said the corn stove was not burning very hot and the distribution fan was not running and it was cold in the house. I left work early and of course possible causes were running thru my head, Mad at myself for not having a spare thermocouple on hand etc. I was sitting at a light and it dawned on me. I left the house in a hurry that morning I had an early appointment, I neglected to fill the hopper on the stove before I left.
