    Yeah, Another softwood pellet! Cool!

    Pellet plant in an old school house. Sounds interesting, But not much head room by the looks of the buildings.

    Sub, Maybe start a new thread so it don't get lost in here?

    This is interesting. Mine is #2349. Ivanhoe has 2248 and both ours have the old control board, so assuming that Fahrenheit uses sequential serial numbers and not numbers out of a hat, yours should have come with the old board. Does yours have auto ignition?

    Any chance you can snap a picture of the burn pot assembly? The manifold assembly looks identical to mine.

    Could be someone upgraded the board. Just curious what else was changed on it. I'd asked Fahrenheit if it was possible to convert a manual ignition furnace to auto, and it is possible, but I'm too cheap to spend the money on it.

    If you don't have a local dealer, you can order parts directly from Fahrenheit.

    Based on that serial number, I'm going to guess it is a 2007 model. Pretty sure mine rolled off the line in 2008.

    I am guessing it was updated to a auto ignite.

    But has the old exhaust manifold and sail switch

    The serial numbers are in sequential order.

    Yes they did.

    The exhaust manifold and the sail switch would be good upgrades as well.

    That's an auto ignition burn pot. The pellet chute is the newer style also. Wonder if there was some type of factory retrofit done on it?

    Edit - the parts to upgrade mine was around $1000. I paid $1000 for the furnace when I bought it. That buys a lot of starter gel and beer. :)
