Hope everyone in the path of the latest 'Snowmageddon 2015' stays warm and safe.
Must be nice. I've got three - a 2000 watt inverter generator that runs most everything I care about, a 5500 watt gas hog to run the well pump for...
I leave the stat at 67 with a 2 degree swing (on at 66 off at 68). The stat is in the hallway, and the family room/kitchen/dining area has...
On days that aren't cold (30 or above during the day, 20 or so at night), I go through between 1 and 1.5 bags. When it stays in the teens for...
A 4 degree swing should mean that it will call for heat 2 degrees below the set point and stop the call for heat 2 degrees above the set point....
My observations in this area: The rationing that was happening in October didn't last long. Any place that normally carries pellets has them in...
That little blip to the northeast of Lake Huron doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me either. Maybe they're expecting lots of extra heat from...
Last year was my first full season with the pellet furnace. I went through a shade over 4 tons. And about one cord of firewood. I've burned less...
Never burned wheat. The strangest fuel I've ever burned was cherry pits in my 6041 insert. How many registers do you have on the ductwork off...
Hard to tell in that pic but it looks like you need a bit more air to liven up the flame a bit. Not enough air will cause soot/black glass over...
The unit would have come with a clinker cutter. You'd want to run the clinker cutter if you're burning corn. It helps slice through the leftovers...
I spend nowhere near the time cleaning the furnace as I did cleaning my 6041. I had to do an in depth cleaning every week on that stove just to...
I dump the ash pan every week or two. I dumped it a week ago today and it was only half full. It's fairly warm today, so I'll shut it down and...
I'm at bag 25 for the month so far. This will probably be a one ton month. It is supposed to warm up to the low 30s next week, so I might make it...
I'm sure it cuts down the air flow some, but probably not enough to cause an issue. I used a fairly thin gauge sheet metal so it flexes easily....
Works on mine. I have a piece of sheet metal that I slide in my plenum. I made a 'shelf' on three sides inside the plenum that the sheet metal...
Just remembered a couple more. I'm sure there are a lot more as I've done my fair share of stupid in my life. My wife had pulled the car out of...
My wife was running late one morning and went to back out of the garage. Problem is the garage door was still down. Whoops. She didn't hit it hard...
Are you planning on hooking up a second thermostat for the pellet furnace? I have mine set that way. One stat goes to the oil burner and the...
Good deal. Glad it's still working out for you. It seemed like a pretty slick little device, it just didn't want to play well with the fan relay...
