    Guess I am all set at least until 24/7 burning season ends :p

    Really, though I should have one on hand at this point. My luck it will fail right around mid March when we get back to on-off burning

    Where are you guys running your Feed Adjuster setting? How do you know when it's right? Too slow? Too fast? I'm running Room Temp Auto.

    Any mods to do to the P68?

    Same here for the most part. I've turned it up to 5 when the temp goes below -10.

    The only other part ever replaced on this stove is the cast iron part right above the flame. I was very close on my 8 year guess. This is actually it's 9th winter.

    She just a work horse. No beauty queen here.

    Looks good for an old girl! :)

    We honor the work horse's too. Getting the job done is what really counts!

    That ignitor in the pic is the old one, correct? The new ones are 15 fin and supposed to last longer. If you got 8 years from a 13 fin unit, that's great !!
