Roy are you talking about the stove lighting or the fridge lighting?  The sucking and blowing part i mean.

Ralph:

I had to resort to attaching a length of rubber tubing to the drain outlet and sucking and blowing to get the stove to light on the last outing.  I’ve swept and blown clean the vent a few times in the past.  This time I think I’m left with little choice but to take the fridge out and {hopefully only} clean the combustion chamber.

Does anyone know if any of the Engle upright fridges fit into the Westy cavity?
