BTW Lollie,

I went to a local propane supplier, and they made me a new hose that went from my propane bottles to a copper flare tee. From the tee I go up with copper to the furnace. And from the tee I go back with a brand new hose to the propane stove.

It sounds like all you need to do is find a propane supplier that can give you the parts you need.

Hey Ray,

Start by pulling out the light bulb and reading what it says on the base. There should be a number with a v after it... like 12v
