I have a really good friend who has done a ton of favors for me and he has had a Quadrafire pellet stove in his house as his primary heat for the last 5 winters. He said he has burnt 10 tons over the five years, 2 tons per season. What I'm offering him is a chance for me to do a complete removal, teardown, and cleaning on his stove as a return favor.
It's hard to get specific details about how his stove is working but he said it's getting more finicky about burning right. He said every year he's had to spend more time fine tuning the draft and maybe a couple of other things too. So my question is this: Am I on target for wanting to do this job for him? Is 10 tons a lot? Overdue for a good cleaning?
I don't want to waste his time and mine promising big performance gains if there isn't going to be any. I'm looking at the whole 9 yards of cleaning the entire thing. That's why I want to remove it from his house so I can go gangbusters on it in my driveway with compressed air, shopvac, disassembly, hand washing individual pieces and so on.
If you followed my topic a while back about my Winston pellet stove fiasco / debacle you'll know I'm quite well versed on pellet stove work. Thanks everyone. m-m
