    I installed the new pump filter, mine was filthy, changed the screen and glow pin. Kit was $209 cdn from TK dealer. No love.
    Had the service guy look at it, plugged in his laptop, bad flame sensor. Works like a champ now.
    I'll let you know for how long in a week or so. Headed for the windy city tomorrow from Nova Scotia. Wish me luck.

    sometimes you have to take them apart and actually clean out the burner chamber if they get too plugged up with carbon.

    I had both bunk and block Espars. The block worked fine. But the bunk was like being in the middle of a boiler. No matter how low I turned it, I would wake up in a lake of sweat, and would have to crank the windows open for an hour when it was -35 outside. I never did figure out what was wrong with it.

    for a few bucks more you can get a digital controller that allows you to set a thermostat temperature. it will speed up slow down and even shut completely off as necessary to maintain within a couple degrees +/- of your set temperature.
