Don't fix it!!!!  I'll take that piece of junk off your hands for free!

;-)

Seriously, though, look into getting it fixed.  Those heaters are
great when they are working, and are generally pretty
straight-forward.  I think a search for "gas heater" and "heater
manual" will get you some hits.  Also, check to see if Bart's
Bart-no-tek pages (off the type2.com site) have anything.

And if you are just sick of the whole thing, *then* give it to me.  ;-)
