Pellet heads!! What's up today?

Thank you!

This makes sense now.
Name on the receipt was for the wholesale.

 

Interestingly, this one i just put back in (one of the 1.75 amp lovelies) , i had retired because of an oscillating surging sound that was long and slow cycling.
Must have been something to do with how i had it mounted, screw tension, i dunno.
But it's not the motor.( I think it's not, lul.)
Smooth and quiet, for now anyway.
Knock on wood.

It's been hanging, covered up in the basement for several years now.

 

don2222 - check with him, he might be able to help you regardless of what his site says. The worst he can do is say no, and maybe he'll say yes

 

Hi. : )
I just had the wrong site.
All i was going by at first was the name on a receipt i have.
jtakeman gave my the name of the consumer site, and the motor is still there.

The house is 2300 sq ft
The WW stove is simply a stop gap "Helper" to be used in a power outage and not have to drag out the generator in the middle of the night and all that fooling around.

If we can keep the "Shack" comfortable until we can get daylight and not need to stumble around in the dark....Good to go......

 

Update on the Wiseway install.

It's a slow crawl at this point.
I want a quick disconnect at the top of the stove and these units are $$$$$ ...more than O wanted to spend, but ordered one.

It gets here and the one side has 1/4" threaded studs welded in.....Not going to work for this application.
The sealing surfaces are not straight and the bore size where the adapter goes on the stove is too small.
Soooooooooo

Machine off the studs and drill the remaining material out to get four 1/4" holes in the flange.

A bit of tweaking to get the flange flat and then grab the part in the lath and take a light cut to give a flat surface.

The part that goes on the stove needs the ID bored out about .010" so it will fit on the stove outlet.

Once the adapter is usable then we can start working on getting the length of the pipe sorted out...

Pellet pipe (As most of us know) is $$$$$$$$ ...so I want to make sure of the lengths and get stuff spot on.

We can move the stove away from the wall a bit if need be so that standard length sections will fit exactly.

Once the pipe is sorted out and the stove location can be set exactly ....then the hole in the wall for the thimble can be cut and the thimble installed.
Outside.... the location must be perfect to clear window trim and other obstacles.
Also we are pretty much out of deep winter weather and the need for this stove is not too great ....Any outages are going to be minimal at this point.

Warmer weather is a much better time to work outside anyway........

 

My dear wife...

Not sure what happened, but historically i am amazed about her reverse Midas touch.
I'm not going to query her as to what exactly she did.
Something about turning it from low to high, then to medium... Dunno...
Had just woken up, and the stove was out, but still warm.

Yellow light flashing. Same turning the stat off and on again.
Don's store has thermocouples back ordered...
Ok, guess it's the backwards wired one from earth sense.

Had unplugged the stove.
Plugged it back in, turned the thermostat up

Works fine...

I am open to the possibility it had nothing to do with my beloved, but i would not wager a large sum on that.
She works in mysterious ways.

 

We generally have one more sn*w at this point,

Just saying that im stopping there

 

Saw my ortho doc yesterday, back pain is worse, losing more function in left leg. Hits left knee with reflex hammer, leg doesn't move. Says yup, we need an MRI to see what going on.

Only issue is because I have a pacemaker, there are only a few places in NH that will do them. Yeah the hospital that put in my pacemaker won't do MRIs on you if you have one. Even though most new pacemakers are certified safe to handle MRIs.

So they have Elliot Hospital in Manchester (40 miles away) that they are partnered with call me. 1st available is------------------- JUNE 9th. WTF? Had them put me on the list to be called if they have cancellations.

Thats what I use in My pellet grill.I think of STB often.He's a good guy.

 

My area is behind by close to 30" of the white stuff this year. We were already in a moderate drought coming into winter so that hasn't helped. Looks like a lot of NH is that way. Even the north country is behind a bit.
