Pellet heads!! What's up today?

I've had a flashlight fetish for ever. I use one for work and needed one that I could carry in my pocket yet be bright enough to illuminate things 30 or more feet away. One of my coworkers had the Warrior and it just blew me away. I had a Streamlight that was ok but they only lasted a year or so before they fell apart. I bit the bullet and bought the M2R Warrior and it survived 3 years before my little issue. Now I have the upgraded model and hopefully it will last me years. 5 year no question warranty isn't bad either. They have sales all the time. I bought my first one for under $70. Pricey yes, but worth it.

 

X2!

 

2021 off to a terrible start already, Tree branch through my camper roof and now the igniter ain't working on the Harman, Replaced the igniter and still notta, tested the old igniter and it works so gotta dig deeper tomorrow.

 

Sorry to hear about the camper. Hope insurance will treat you right for repairs.

Hope that the stove not lighting is just an air flow thing - that is much easier, quicker and cheaper to replace than say a control board.

Yesterday I did a deep clean of both stoves, including LBT. When the P43 started running again, the flame didn't act right. Once I got it cooled back down the first thing I checked was the plate in front of the igniter chamber. Yep, I had managed to get it on there cocked a little so the air flow was messed up. Got it straightened back up and the flame returned to normal.

 

damm Rich, that sucks! You almost need to look at it like you got the chitty stuff over with early in the new year


Hopefully if its the board its just the triac. I saw your board is, unfortunately, a lot more $$$ than the standard boards.

 

Man hope your right Steve with everything hitting in the beginning of the year. The camper roof I went and patched yesterday so that should be fine and the stove appears to be fixed, Preseason I installed an inline fuse on the igniter wire to protect the board ( because they are salty )and the one end of the fuse holder didn't seem to be gripping the fuse real tight so I squeezed it tighter and now the igniter is working. So at least the stove has a new igniter in it and I have the old one as a back up. Manually lit the stove last night and ran it on constant burn over night with the feed rate and blower turned all the way down woke up at 4 am to 79 deg. in the house.
Here's the lovely pics of the camper roof

 

In all of the times I’ve cleaned both my Harmans I never screwed up putting that cover on the correct way until a couple of years ago. I chased a poor burning, poor lighting stove for a couple of weeks. Finally figured out that I had installed the cover upside down.....duh.

 

Actually no so much.
I buy stuff, high grade it and sell off what I don't need to help offset the "Toy"
Repeat the procedure.....
Do again......

 

Hey, the old coot turned 74 today, Happy Birthday Larry.

 

X2....Happy Birthday Larry!!!

 

X4 Happy Birthday

 

Gotta tell ya.

One day at Walmart, I wanted a couple of inexpensive flashlights for the grandkids.
Young kids love playing with them. (Not just adults)
Could not find anything "cheap".
Near the camping area, I saw a box of them..
A BUCK apiece!!
So I looked at them, they were the now standard 3 AAA type cheapies..
Except these had LED bulbs, so I said what the heck, Got 2.
Went home pulled the little plastic thingie out to energize the light.
Holy Cannoli. They are the brightest small light I have ever seen by a TON.
Makes my mini 2 AA Maglite, which a paid 3 bucks for a bulb, look like it's broken.
So I went and got five more..
Now my 2, 3 D cell $30 Maglites are near useless since I bought a
police quality tactical LED light.. For ten dollars less than the maglite.
(I know I can get an LED conversion for those... for 65 bucks @... no thank you..)

Contrary to your feelings they work for themselves, not you, and not who they may say they work for.
