I have a countryside fireplace inset in my family room Installed about 5 years ago. Worked fine last 5 years. Today i flicked the switch to turn it on and i get a blue flame instead of the normal yellow flame. Funny smell too. I turned it off rightaway. Tried it again 20 minutes later...same thing. Any ideas?
