    Thanks Pete - I fixed it for Will ..

    HPIM1322[1].JPG

    Got the combustion blower, room fan, motors, and back electronics all cleaned up, still working on the Heat Exchange tubes - looks like this is gonna take another day ..

    Gotta get some new brushes, and try to find the scraper tool I fabricated back in '14, or make another one.

    We're getting there though, slowly.

    Off to work soon, have an excellent day all!
    :cheers:

    That Ash vac looks like a killer robot, keep it away from the Harman cleaning tool. Nice! :thumbs:

    Didn't take long to clog up the ash vac. Yup, I had a lot of ash to vac out. But the sweet thing is how the stove ran after all of it was done. My problem is I have to carry the ash away so the grandkids and dogs don't get into it. Had I had my compost pile available, I would have dumped it there. I usually find something positive to do with it. I recycle the pellet bags by using them for used cat litter.

    GLast night after work I uncovered the P43's exhaust, took out all the newspaper stuffed in there, and vacuumed out behind the stove to remove all the dust and cat hair.

    Just in time too; this morning I woke up to Birdie's cage grate rattling because he was shivering. It was 64* in the house, and being the considerate pet owner I am, I made fire.

    It's not on but I spent 3 hours cleaning the stove and venting. I'm ready for anything.

    I can hear a couple of chainsaws running in the neighborhood. It seems like others are getting ready as well.

    I like the claim on the box that it's "Indoor/Outdoor" firewood. I wonder what real "Indoor" firewood looks like, vs outdoor?? :whistle:
