You'd think that after 4 seasons I'd be done screwing around with the EKO, but NOOO!
Probably encouraged by frequent visits to this forum. (gotta blame somebody)
Three weeks ago I installed my firebrick overlay to extend nozzle life and it appears to be working and holding up very well.
Yesterday I made a decision to remove the manual turbulator actuating system and scrap it. I'll find another way to hang the turbs individually. This decision resulted from my first cleaning session of the heating season. Yes, I haven't brushed the tubes since I put her to bed last spring.
What I found was the tubes only had a light coating of fly ash deposited on the walls but you EKO owners know what I had to do to find that out. If I get rid of all that claptrap I'll be able to just pop the panel, unscrew two nuts and reach in and pull out the turbs.I belive that if you're burning correctly actuating those turbs isn't doing a bit of good. It's like using a shovel to wash your car.
Actually I will have cleaner tubes since I won't be putting off cleaning because it is such a PITA.
Tell me where I'm going wrong.
Fred
