after 2 days got the stove working again. was a problem with the combustion fan. Ash or something was preventing it from turning and thus not making vacuum. Mnky Wrnch posted the service manual, for someone elst with a st.croix problem, my hats off to him for findind that manual and helping me. THANKS. You guys/gals rock out there. stay warm and merryxxxxxxx-mass and happy new year. Jim.
Just a reminder to keep those stoves clean, including the blowers.
