    Pellets look to be a hard sell to some people this season with LP and oil so low.

    We do not have propane other than the cook stove, and I have a way to adapt a grille bottle if necessary.

    In my old place the heat and hot water were propane, and I will never ever ever be held hostage or subject to those mother ****ing sons of b****ing c***sucking A**holes again. I'll peel the trim off and burn the furniture first.

    We have FHW oil that has not been used in years, and even that is better because you can get anyone to deliver it or go get some kero or diesel for yourself if need be.

    Several years ago I "shamed" my LP provider into giving me the 500 gal tank I had been leasing for years.SO I have then purchased LP from much cheaper supplier.

    Got my stove going also. I wouldn't be able to do it if it were not for my son who brings pellets to my door. I pull them onto a small flat bed cart and push that to the stove. Then with determination, I get them up and dumped into the hopper. I might have to start dumping a bag into two pails so I can lift them. Also do the dumping outside to avoid the dust as much as possible.

    Hi, glad your back! I am next to a fire too, 6 miles from a fire too. Evacuated a couple weeks ago but thankfully put back to pre evac 2 days later. Though we did not leave.... Still packed up and ready if needed but it's been moving away from us thankfully. Would you know Bob, how does one access the heat exchanger tubes on an Eco65 if we hook it up to a plenum?

    Oh, and our previous home is under mandatory evacuation from another fire holy cow! It's burning over the High Park scar that we went through. Unbelievable.

    Right! But we brush the exchange tubes through the same opening the plenum attaches too. Does it need to be moveable? Like unscrew it and swing it out of the way?

    Woops forgot the quote. badbob

    I would assume you would have to remove the front block off plate and clean through there.I have never worked on one/plenum.

    Thanks :) I was thinking that too, except the wing nuts to get it off are also accessed through the plenum opening. And it would be almost impossible to brush through the front opening. I'll make a note to call them on Monday. Glad you back friend !
