    Just a refresher to all of you Harman owners this is something you need to do with the Harman Stoves. Make sure you clean your ignitor by blowing a little canned air into the burn pot holes over where the ignitor is located. This will remove the fly ash from the fins. If the ash is not removbed it can cause a hotspot and or premature ignitor failure. How do you know that your ignitor is not working? There will be no fire in the stove, dah!

    If you do not know where the ignitor is and need some help, look for the 5/16" head screws sticking out the front of the burn pot. Guess what these screws hold? Yes the ignitor cradle which holds the ignitor. Another way is to loosen the two thumbscrews and gain access to the bottom of the cradle this way but it is not a true cleaning unless you remove the ignitor cradle.

    Just trying to help. The going rate for an ignitor is around $110 but can be found cheaper.

    Pssstttt, notice that gray fluffy ash? That is grade A, primo, uncut stuff. Anyone want to guess what brand of pellet makes that???????

    Remember "visual aids" are not what you get from looking at computer porn while unprotected.
