Bixby Energy Maxfire
WE HAVE HAD OUR BIXBY MAXFIRE FOR A YEAR NOW AND WE HAVE BEEN QUITE HAPPY WITH IT UNTIL IT QUITE WORKING AND WE TRIED TO GET SOMEONE IN TO FIX IT. THE DEALER WE BOUGHT THE STOVE FROM IS NOT DEALING IN THEM ANYMORE AND WE CAN'T GET IN TOUCH WITH ANYONE AT BIXBY TO ORDER PARTS. I HEARD THEY MOVED OR CHANGED HANDS. IS THIS TRUE? DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO ORDER PARTS OR WHO TO CONTACT? MY EMAIL IS luna4267@hotmail.com IF ANY ONE CAN HELP
