The condo I'm renting came with a Fisher Honey Bear stove and was built in '82. I asked my landlord how to use it and he told me how easy it was to use (his words were "light it and go").
I've been trying to get it to stay lit now for 3 days and...NOTHING! The flames will start out great and then 30 minutes later, they're completely fizzled out. Last night was my final attempt at keeping the flames going by using paper, pinecones, kindling and fire starter purchased from my local grocery store to build the fire, then add my actual logs.
It still went out!
I stopped opening the doors so often and kept one of them cracked for about 10-15 minutes which seemed to help for a brief moment, but eventually, the flame still dies down. I make sure the dials are open on the stove, but I did just realize that one of the dials is stuck shut, so that could have something to do with it as well. What can I do to get that dial open? WD-40?
Help me out please! This is how I intend on heating my condo for the fall and winter. I've included pictures as well for reference. As for the dial that is stuck shut, it's the right one.
