Ivanhoe - the V on the pot usually starts to fail where the igniter is...at least on mine...then it webs out...the other side holds out...
And that's why after 8 years dealing with that crap I built my own damm pot!!!!!!! My 1/4" SS pot is showing zero signs of heat...
The last few cold nights I tried mixing the LGs and DFs...I think they were a bit on the damp side when I tried them earlier as they burnt far...
My high output fan/motor from Don also gets noisy...couple drops of his magic oil quiets it right up...but bearing play is a sign of death...a...
Ivanhoe - it's not an air issue...my damper is barely hanging on the set screw (as closed as you can get using the screw) and it's still producing...
Well...I have a newer house with standard ducting, but also have 2 boosters in the main trunk to move the air (I do have some rooms blocked off,...
My house is 2,700sf and I've been using this thing for 8 years so I've tried most of the cleaning/register/whatever tricks. It's far from...
I'm not getting anywhere near those temps...on a continuous run at level 5 I'm getting 124-131 degrees with the LGs. My damper is set at lowest...
Junk & more junk...a good pellet will run me $325/ton easy...I know the LG's are not hot, but they sure burn clean...I could almost go 3 weeks...
I most certainly agree pellet selection will have a significant impact...but I think to tune the furnace itself what I outline will work... Dex -...
I set my fan limits at 170 & 130...it takes about 2.5 minutes (consistently) to switch on and stops after about 13 minutes...and that folks,...
ok...So I did a whole lotta things this weekend. First I confirmed that a 1/4" SS pot is definitely the way to go. Yanked it after pushing well...
My probe is about 18" up in the 10" tube. I'd be very curious what folks are running for pellets to generate 170 degrees...I'd also like to know...
OK...so I'm confident I've confirmed what I thought all along...a hotter burning flame creates more heat. I'm confident because last night was...
Well...the pot looks decent...the door not so much and the pusher & arm are brand new :) A perfect candidate for an upgrade as it's a spare unit...
Nope...just what you see in the pic...that's the burn pot and I've not welded anything together yet :) That's just me cutting out the area to be...
All - so instead of building an entire pot to get the benefits of 1/4" SS requiring frame modification, I've recently acquired some tools that...
I'm on a thermostat...so it's #1 or #5
Don't overlook your blower thermostat switch...I recall futsing with mine in the past...if set differently then stock then you might get different...
Well said and the issue at hand. We are trying to heat air that heats metal tubes...that's where my analogy of using the oven to heat the bolt is...
