Yep, nothing real serious. I had a moment of "what the heck am I lookin' at here", then realized what happened. One of the screws is SS panhead, so I think I'll use that 1st. Nothing wrong with the stove....I kinda' strong armed the screw.
Tryin' to get the baffles out of the way so I could sweep last spring. Only way to do that is to pull the front tube. It's a disease, I tell ya'. Must....fix....stuff......
Goofy stuff here. The as screw wouldn't fit, so I tried the tapper, and it did. Exact same size. The tapper snugged right down.
Next time you need to clean the ash out without clankin' the tubes... use your leaf blower... the cloud shouldn't bother anybody...
