    I'm not here to judge :salute:
    I do more sipping than chugging these days. To me it's more about enjoying the moment.....and remembering it:rofl: :lol:

    Thanks amateur cutter! I must say I'm actually looking forward to colder temps this year.....I have always been a summer guy but this site has gotten me to appreciate the colder temps.

    I started another burn in fire Sunday night (sorry no pics this time). There was no smoke coming off the paint. So were ready to drag the old smoke dragon out and put this guy in :D

    Quick question though, it didn't seem to be pulling much air in. Am I correct to just assume this was because it was outside with only about 6 feet of stove pipe on? The temperature was probably in the 80s and it was overcast/muggy. I checked the wood I was burning (Ash) with a MM before it went in. It was reading between 17-20%. When I would lower the air the flames would really die down/go out. With the air open wide there was no smoke but when I cut the air supply it would smolder and smoke. I'm hoping once it is actually hooked up to the new ss liner it will draft fine.

    Hit the nail on the head with your assumption.

    you won't get much draft in that kind of weather
    yes, and the colder (and clear) it is outside, the better the draft:yes:

    So I was doing some browsing on the local CL (can't hurt to look right?) and found this PE for sale. They're asking $200 OBO. I can't tell what model it is though and figured someone here may know.

    00f0f_hDoy4GiPFB2_1200x900.jpg 00Y0Y_bjyNxvp0oBs_1200x900.jpg 00000_iLLN1NiHpgc_1200x900.jpg I made a new thread for this but didn't do a good job coming up with a title and figured people may skip it thinking I was selling when I'm really just looking for info.

    Not sure on the model but it appears to be a 1993. Oooooold unit! May be a good one however.
