A simple, light “sanding” of the tip of the unit with emery cloth did the trick! Stove lights up like a champ now! We also discovered that the it is very easy to take apart the front and remove the glass and screen to access the pilot and thermocouple. Just had to remove a couple of the “fake logs” that hide the unit.
Fire in Stone wanted $300 in advance for this…🤪 and of course, they wouldn’t tell you what to do to fix it yourself…
My experience with them was poor as well. They quoted us an absolutely ridiculous price on a fireplace repair and reface job, we got it done by a great masonry company faster and at less than half of their quote.
