Oops...

2 weekends ago, I did a tear down on my Fahrenheit and replaced some pieces and parts. Anyway, fast forward to Friday of last week, I load up the hopper (5 Bags) and head out the door for the weekend skiing in New York. My buddy stops at the house to top off the pellets and calls me Sunday night saying the hopper is full and the stove says no proof of flame. So I come home a day early from my trip to a chilly house and after emptying all the pellets and removing the hopper and cleaning out the stove, I find a roll of metal tape blocking the auger. It fell off the hopper with the lid off and it is about 5 1/2' off the ground so I didn't really even think to look inside the hopper when done.
My point is from now on I m going to have a check list of how many tools I started with and how many tools I finished with when working on the stove. Kinda like a surgeon, this many tools went into surgery and this many came out and make sure you didn't leave a screwdriver inside the patient's chest. I can see it really coming into play with drill bits and such tearing up an auger if they fell into the pellets while doing some maintenance.

 

That sounds like I good idea , on the bright side at least it wasn't anything major with the stove .

 

At least the auger didn't eat the roll of tape

 

Dex is gonna by mad...you have to represent better than this, you family!!

 

I found a plastic fork in mine once. No damage done. I'm sure the fork was one of ours.

 

Should of bought a Harmoan...Probably would have burnt the tape, generated copious amounts of heat and produced no ash what-so-ever!!

 

This is from your pellet friends

 

I do not even buy pellets anymore, I just throw splits in the hopper and she grinds them up and burns them just fine.

 

Sorry, Splits or Spelts? Pardon my uninformed intrusion

 

I can see it now...
"What do you meen that I cant burn wood splits in my pellet stove? I was just doing what some said on the internet. Everything on the internet is truthful. Even President Lincoln said so!"

 

Or turned it in to a 30 pack of Blue Smoothies Now I know you want a Harmoan

 

Chit if we figure out how to turn a roll of tape into a 30 pack of Smoothies, we gonna be rich Sums-O-Biatttches!!

 

You're the engineer I'll be the taste tester

 

Hahaha i almost spit my "smoothie" all over my phone when I read this

 

I love both of mine it's 11* out 72* inside roasting $3.99 stove chow and not even pushing the stoves , Harman works for me ,but as always your mileage may vary

 

You had your chance but chose the Enerzone instead.
