I'm rethinking the engineering on those exchange tubes and the blast plates that cover them. The idea that the heat needs to stay in the box...
So...did some futsing around and tried to insert my probe, but was giving me fits so went down a different direction...using my IR temp reader....
Well...cleaned the new pot assemble yesterday. Easiest cleaning job since I've had the machine (7-8 years)...hardly any ash on the sides &...
The cleaning action is just a pre-programmed event...the furnace runs more or less as normal when it cycles through it...only an actuator limit...
I replaced mine with the newer side open version...my original was heavily corroded and I can see it being an intake obstacle if it were to get...
My damper is only open 20-30% and I'm getting a ridiculously clean burn (all light grey fluffy ash...no chunks whatsoever...completely uniform in...
I'd be curious if his sail door is sticking...you don't have that much of a vent run so having to run the damper wide open means it's not getting...
I'll have to look into a probe and see what's it reading...unfortunately, it doesn't stay at it's max burn for long...but then again it's been a...
Dex - I appreciate the advice...is there a ratio I should be trying to achieve? That burn was at maybe 30% airflow and I didn't even clean my...
Well...raising the pot an 1/8th shouldn't do much...you'd just need to ensure the re-light plate arm clears the slightly raised pusher (if not...
Dexter - I appreciate your comments as you are the pioneer and the model I followed for my mods. I'm curious about your last post and would like...
[MEDIA] I hope this works...
ok...I'll give that a go...
No gaskets in the original design...I used 1/8" flat gaskets...I'll take those over the porous slotted method on the OEM anytime! So...I fired it...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Modified frame & 1/4" pot installed (notice my broken bolt fix...)...tested pusher operation & door clearance. Closes fine, but...
I hear ya bro...I've spent way too much time on this :) In all honesty, to just deal with the pot failure itself, you might be able to cut out...
So...I finally got around to my modified frame/pot thingy this weekend. It was a real PITA to get the 1/4" pot in there and re-engineer some of...
What's this all about? Did you go and make yourself an auto dampener?
Actually, I'm installing the SS pot into a heavily modified frame...trying to fix what I see as shortcomings in the V3 design. Taking longer than...
OK...did some more reading and I'm not sure titanium would work so well...the issue would be the steel pusher rubbing against the ti...that would...
