Here is an update on my original thread...

Fired it up today for a test burn... Here are the pics and results ( If admin can make these pictures smaller, go head, I can't firgure it out.)

.

Not sure how long it takes to really heat up, I only had it burning gor about 45 minutes or so. I was get about 160 °F with both knobs set around 1/2. Was getting about 170 °F with the pellet feed 3/4 up. Seems low. The blower is definitely more powerful than my kozi.

Chris, it may take some fiddling with it to optimize the burn, but otherwise, for $50 the fact that it actually works as good as it does can only be a bonus.

Keep us updated in the fall how it does.....congrats on a steal. ;-)

I may have to replace the damper. I have all I can do to push it in and out. It is a little bent and rusty.

Very Nice stove Chris. I am guessing you are already done cleaning and lubricating everything. Did you have to buy any replacement parts? Or did it just need a Clean and Lube??

Around 200 is what I get on Low for the Quad. Never measured after 45 mins, but that seems about on track with what you got. Takes about an Hour from a Cold Start to get up to Full Operating Temp.

Looks Great, Are you gonna be adding the Enviro to your Signature now? Or are you gonna keep the Kozi and sell the Enviro? I remeber there were a few Forum members that wanted to get there hands on that Enviro, or possibly the Kozi... Either way, Congrats. Heck of a Deal.. Dont get much better than that.
