QUESTION FROM Tim Pickett

I have a Fireplace Extrodinaire. It has a thermostat that is powered ONLY by the thermopile. Occasionally the flame height will increase, the flame turns yellow, and there is a loud blowing sound. If I stop and restart the fireplace using the thermostat, this corrects the problem. Any suggestion as to the cause?

ANSWER FROM POLICY-Wizard™

Dear Tim:

Did you mean an "Xtrordinair" brand direct vent fireplace?

And is your gas fireplace using propane or natural gas as the fuel?
