Osburn 7000

Nope, try crud on the low limit snap disk, remove, clean, and reinstall it.

 

I'll give a go this afternoon when I shut it down for a cleaning. Hasn't gone down again, albeit we've been into some cold weather this week so it's kicked up a few bars. My "new" settings may have something to do with it also.
Thanks

 

After cleaning the snap disks, (they weren't really that dirty) and replacing them, I haven't had any low temp warnings. However I have continued to try find the sweet spot or what ever make this stove happy settings. None are near the settings for the first season and a half, while using LG Granules.

The stove was knocked off line again three times with the wind shifts from the impending change to snow from the west by north west.

 

How about getting me some pics of the vent and oak terminations together on a shot. They must be on the same side. That allows the pressure difference to not be influenced by venting. If the terminations are facing in different directions you will need two instead of (at most) one wind shield.

 

The vent is pointing south and is turned away from the prevailing west by southwest winds. I turned it up a bit more than last year it seemed to help on the less windy days.

 

OAK termination seven feet directly below

 

Looks like the air that will enter that Oak during a gust is not going to be enough to counter what enters through the vent, what is behind that Oak termination? Your wind sheild should be about 1' wide and 3' directly in front of both the OAK and vent termination.

 

Last year I put a (normally) vertical mounted stack cap over the termination piece. The conical shape extended by several inches in total diameter than the termination piece. I had hoped it would dissipate the influence of the strong gusts. Didn't make a difference, even though the OAK was not connected at that time.

I tried a multi layered, multi directional cap....didn't work. ***I think this was the clue to my future success.

It was left over from another propane device no longer in use, so I threw this up there a few months ago and gave it a run. Had built in baffles and the same diameter pipe, though I would give it a go before building a large windscreen. Didn't work.


What may be an issue is the terrain and the various extra influences on the prevailing winds. The barn, large blue spruce (intentional wind break), the rise in elevation with a large stone well breaking the ever present trade winds off of our surrounding lakes and water ways.
