    Thank goodness I only bought 2 tons of that brand. I usually don't fill the hopper, but I did find a full open bag he put in the garage in Jan that were pretty blown up from snow/rain/whatever. I will be searching here pretty soon on how to incorporate the wet bag for container gardening :) That said, the auger needed an extra winding on every single refill of the long pellets brand. I won't buy them again unless I am desperate lol.

    That's the proper method for wiping when you only have one sheet left. You didn't lose the corner you tore out, that's the most important part, for cleaning under you fingernail.

    Sorry smoke show i got to that and didn't read farther. Did a few TP tubes when younger and didn't want to forget.

    I hope I hear you are looking for a stove begore you go buy one. I'm going to try to get you to join the Harman group. Only thing is you might be disappointed when it comes to cleaning it. No taking this apart, and the flue is seldom dirty enough for the leaf blower even after a full season. My stove glass get a band of black across the top, but never gets so I can't see through it. The burn pot dumps itself. If you run it hot enough, hardly any carbon build up. I still scrape it but I'm not finding much of anything.

    That's what I thought, looking at pics of the extension on there I was thinking wow looks high.

    I did start to dump a bag into the hopper and realized some pellets were round balls. I stopped the flow and started scooping that bag back out. I screened it and filled a small bathroom sized trashcan half way with fines. Had once been wet for sure.

    Out of 38 bags so far that's the only one.

    Ohh did I read you had a grilla? If so we have to talk, thinking of going that route this spring.

    Thanks! I turned over a new leading number roughly 8 hours ago. Doesn't feel any different than it did yesterday. :)

    That was the first time I ever saw a clump like that in any of the bags. That was one of the bags that was under the roof drip in my pole barn, so I'm guessing thats where the moisture came from. Good thing I was home when it started getting chilly in the house.

    I picked up a Grilla almost 2 years ago. I love it. Should be the last grilling appliance I ever buy, or at least it had better be. :)

    The idea of a pellet grill is awesome but the price not so much. I do use my grill daily in the summer as my wife is an outdoor/deck/pool nut. No indoor cooking since the house gets hot and I am too cheap to run the central AC.
    I did add a deck extension to the new pool the summer before last. Didn't get to finally enjoy it till last summer! You can see the green when I started and the leaves changing colors when I finished. 1 man project

    Now I need a nice pellet grill to compliment it lol.

    You can keep those butt ugly box stoves. I want nice looking PITA to maintain unit so I can play. Don't you go trying to ruin my hobby.

    All the ribbing aside Larry I enjoy playing with the stove and I really need something to keep Mike Holton on edge. I figure a nice PAH installed in a traditionally roofed Maine house and I could keep him happily busy at work or not :hair::faint:.
