    Sand and wax in the P68 no problems with Matra's , T&D stickies different story so I will be sanding and waxing the P43 this weekend and it should do fine with a mix of Okie's and T&D. With that said what I will be doing for next year as my life with work is too crazy is adding a hopper extension to the P43 for one the funneling as its much worse than the P68 but also extending the burn time so I can run the P43 harder .
    Thanks everyone for their experiences and replies .

    I've come up with a method to not get the 802's to funnel (so far) with less work than mixing another brand together with the 802. I have been using a few bags of 802 then a bag or two of Lacrete then back to the 802. So far thats working out well and the hopper is emptying.

    Make sure the stove is stone cold when applying this as the fumes could ignite like a fireball in the hopper

    I may know "someone" that singed some eyebrows last year when the burn-pot wasn't as cold as they thought it was and the auger shaft was empty :whistle: :D

    Plus its the fumes during application that are the real issue.
