Question
Hello,
I have a Dovre by Heatilator Propane gas fireplace installed in my home. It model # is GA285498. i am having a bit of trouble lighting  the pilot light. It seems the small "wick" to the right of the pilot light has deteriorated and disintegrated when cleaning. Before this I couldn't get the pilot to stay lit. I would like to purchase these 2 parts but cannot find part numbers or distributors in my area. I live in the Philadelphia Pa area. Any help would be appreciated.
