Chimney & Fireplaces/Hunter Gas Fireplace

Question
I have a Hunter HF132 gas fireplace.  I understand that the company is now out of business.  I have a cracked burner and was wondering if there are replacement parts out there and where i can get them?

Answer
Tom,
I honestly don't know.  I do not do a lot of gas appliances so I am not the best person to ask.  I would suggest searching the net and ebay particularly.  You'd be surprised at what is available through ebay.  Sometimes people who owned a stove shop are clearing out old inventory etc.  Besides this try contacting a local stove/fireplace shop and seeing if they can better direct you.  I apologize I could not be of more help to you.
