I knocked the thermocouple out of it's mount while vacuuming, but can't seem to find an way to attach it to the pot. Not clips, holes mounts what's the trick?
 
@Spaz, do you have a model number? I have a Mount Vernon AE and the thermocouple is held in his place with a clip and bolt. How about your owners manual?
 
A mount with nothing to hold on to.
Bottom of mount/clip should be under lip of burn pot and burn pot is screwed down holding mount in place.
8:34 mark on video. If you are referring to the thermocouple it self it stuffs into the thermocouple cover the bulk of the wire holds it in place.

When I cleaned it today, I could see the bar that it hooks into. Unfortunately it's not sitting horizontal in the pot,I tried moving with a screw driver to no avail. It looks like it's spring loaded and should move up and down to lock the mount in but one end is stuck up not leaving a gap . I can't find a picture or diagram of this. Any one help out here? Not in the manual.

I watched the video and I don't see in the video what I see on my pot. The mount on mine has a circle at the bottom. Not a straight piece. Nor did I see in the video the bar that was cock eyed. That being said can I just remove the 2 bolts flip up the pot an stuff it back in? It appears it does rest on the edge of the bowl which is how I have it now but not stuffed into the hole. Stay tuned, it's going to be 50 tomorrow I might just try it.

Same mount. $25-$80 depending on were you buy them, yours looks ok in the picture. Hard to tell but do you have a gasket under the fire pot usually you can see it stick out around the rim.
 
The guy who installed it did and apparently didn't install the mount right. I bought it. I called my pellet service guy, he's coming out in January to fix it, in the mean time I've got it jammed in place. Thanks for all the help. 👍
