Hi Bill,

     Somewhere on the web is a scanned manual for the Westy stove. I thought I
had it bookmarked, alas no, and I can'tfind it with my favourite search engine.
I'll try
to remeber to check at home tonight for the copy that I printed out to check for
the
URL and post it. As I remember, there is a funny key thing (that has disappeared
from
almost all Westys) that fits into the slots in the burner so you can unscrew and
remove that
and get underneath.

Cheers,
