And all this time I thought it was for blowing air into the cumbustion
chamber while furiously pumping the little knob and pushing the spark
button!  No wonder I always feel like a one-man-band everytime I light the
fridge!!   :-)

Can any one tell me what the little screw on plug is for (when to open &
close) at the lower left of the fridge?

It is to drain water from the combustion chamber. Water can get in through
the exhaust stack. I have never had any in there and have opened the little
screw cap a number of times, but nothing ever came out.
