    Since I think I got my foot into the door when someone else started the Pellet Pig title I feel it fair I throw this out there. This is in no way an attempt to bully anyone but a way we can all learn from other stupid mistakes. So if you post a "mistake" we will deduct Man Points in the following manner

    -15 for leaving the hopper lid / front door / or ash pan door open and you can not figure why the auger will not turn. ***No names***

    -5 for not filling the hopper and letting it run dry on accident

    -10 having the three position toggle switch in the on/off or high/low without a thermostat hooked up

    -15 not checking the power cord and finding it pulled from the wall after cussing that the stove was not working

    -10 not reading the owner's manual EVER

    -20 Asking the same question that is already on the first or second page of a forum

    -25 asking this question, "What is the best brand of pellets to buy?"

    Feel free to use this as a rough draft. More can be added.

    Eric

    How many points are we starting with??

    I know a guy (no names ;)) who may have left his hopper lid open and couldn't figure out why his auger wouldn't turn?? :D
