Starting a Castle Serenity stove manually

[Babsley]

Hi everyone, My stove quit firing, but it still feeds the pellets and blows, may I start the fire manually until I figure out what's going on so we won't freeze to death? If so, does anyone know how, some advice would be great, I have to wait thirty minutes everytime I restart, so trying to get right the first time. Thx TONS. B

I do not see why not
Get some hand sanitizer or rubbing alcohol
soke some (handful ) put them in the burn pot add a match
so as it is burning good start stove
Or add pellets to burn pot and use propane torch to light
when going good start stove
Thats how it was done in the olden days say 20 years ago

Unplug your stove for a few seconds...then plug back in. Gets around the 30 min waiting period
Or use the switch to turn it off/on.
