    So, much delayed, I went and did the leaf blower thing. Last time I did that was last winter. Very disappointed with the results. No big black cloud. Last time I saw that black cloud was when I did the monthly cleaning when I had my Napoleon running. Now just some gray like fog for a minute then it is all over. I run my stove on Stat all the time now. Starts up HOT then settles down. Ash pan fills up normally, but the stove stays fairly clean. The intake fan is the thing I have to watch. I have 6 long haired cat so that can be an issue. I just run a tooth brush over each slot in the fan and keep the vac running. The fan behind the ash pan gets brushed and vac ed down also. I take off the plate under the burn pot and vac in there, that keeps the ignition clear. Not much to keep the p68 cleaned up and burning smoothly.

    Thank you! Easy enough to make that with a wheat-less cereal like Chex rice or corn!

    For French toast use Texas Toast (nice and thick). But I really like a nice whole grain oat nut bread. However, trying to eat wheat-free (not GL), I don't keep any kind of bread in my house, so haven't had it for several years. Okay, I just lied, I do buy bread for Birdie - he gets an 1/8 of a slice (of whole grain whatever is on sale) on Saturdays and Sundays as a treat. But I keep it frozen so I'm not tempted by seeing it.

    I have found that a vac alone doesn't get all the ash out from under the burn pot. I get in there with my fingers a literally scrape it all out. I do this with the exhaust fan running to keep the dust cloud out of my face. As much as I try, I can't seem to keep from getting ash all over my face.:confused: You'd be surprised how much the vac doesn't get.

    Maybe because I live in the boonies, but Amazon has sent EVERYTHING to the USPS building for a couple months now. I let my Prime subscrpt expire. It's not easy but less stressful for me to drive clear the hell to town and buy our necessities rather than the post office where the handicap spot is around the corner of the building, then a 30' ramp to double doors, then..................STAND IN LINE for too long with no wheelchair buggy or shopping cart to lean on, only to make a couple trips out with large boxes on the said double doors x2, ramp, parking around the corner. NO THANK YOU.

    I can't see in there. I was concerned I might damage the igniter if I poked around. I'll have to reach in there and dig out what I can.

    Did you call Amazon and ask what is up. I did when USPS messed I got an answer. Does the post office deliver to you? See if you have options.

    Guessing our stove are different but I can put the shop vac hose over my igniter housing. Or, is you igniter worn out?
    I did Larry, called both amazon and the USPS, they said it was contracted by corporate with USPS and I have no options. And unfortunatly no, USPS does not deliver to me, I have a community lock mailbox several miles away. Bummer for living in the boonies.

    My ignitor works just fine so long as I keep it free of ash. Seems ash fall on the ignitor from some holes in the burn pot. Needs those holes to ignite the pellets. I do stick my vac up in the hole that has the ignitor. The others are saying that there is more ash in there than what the vac can get to. so they are digging it out with their fingers. There is a way to take that all apart but so far, I have not attempted that. Just taken the plate off and stuck the vac up in there.
