Hello all! I'm new here and (as the title says) I have some questions about the Whitfield Advantage Plus. My wife and I were recently given a used Advantage Plus pellet stove. We have installed it, and it works great! Does anyone here have any recommendation on spare parts that I should purchase? In other words, are there parts on these stoves that have a reputation for needing replacing? I might need to buy new firebrick (unless there is a way to repair a forming hole). Also, I noticed that the glass on these things is quite expensive. Is there anything I should know about glass care so I won't ever have to replace it? Also, with this being a used stove that was free for us, is this a good stove to keep repairing if components wear out, or would it be better to simply replace the entire stove with something new a few years down the road? One last thing; this stove does not have the auto ignite feature. I have found a kit to add it for about $225. Would that be worth the cost? I have been using some starters for pellet stoves and have no problem with that.
In advance, thank you for any help!
