    Hi Sub, it's improved but I feel it's still not 100%. I went ahead and ordered the replacement pusher arm. Hope to get it in time to install it next week (taking a few vacation days over the holiday). Will report back more after I get it installed.

    Same over here will. Night time temps are almost all in the 30s and highly 20s for the foreseeable future. We have some daytime highs in the 40s coming, but Thanksgiving and the day after will be low to mid 50s and sunny prediction, similar to today, so that should be fantastic!

    The P61a has been on anyway (room/auto). It has fired on a regular basis the last couple of days as the doors have been open quite a bit from the work being done on my house. However, the P43 was off today until just after dark as the sun was keeping the main floor pretty warm.

    Switched the little Whit off and left the Big Whit burning.

    A nice cozy 70 F in here now

    It's getting to a point I have to slap the Fahrenheit together and shut the Accentra. This weekend seems to be a good time to get to it. Can't wait to see if all the improvements are worthwhile efforts:whistle:

    Amen to that - I'll buy that insurance any day of the week. :D

    Stove is on now, 35 F , overcast, and not improving - Boss is pretty much taken command of Stove operation, loading & cleaning, I am quickly being 'relegated' to Stove Tinkerer & Maytag Repair Technician.. :yes:

    Today should be the 1st full day (24hr) run test for the stove in awhile, we'll see how that goes.. Fingers Crossed.

    Suns out, stoves off. Hoping to get enough solar gain to keep it off the rest of today.

    It's been overcast and damp all morning here. May shut down the stove to clean it later, but other than that it's prolly going to be running most all day. 29 bags so far this year and the ash pan is almost full already. Guess I'm burning the ashy stuff these days. With Vermonts, I can easily burn a ton+ before the pan needs to be emptied!

    Cloudy and drizzle all day with temps in the 30's. Shut mine down and did a good clean. Can't remember the last (and only) time I did it before today. Amazing how much more heat it puts out now that it's clean.
