    git er done hoverfly!!

    happy to report either the mix of pellets or the fact I increased damper setting from 3/8 to 3/4 (read a post there needs to be enough air for the pellet coals to dance), but after one day and 2 wipings of the glass the residue is less oily and wipes right off!!!

    Now that I am on school vacation ,I ordered new Selkirk Direct temp vetting horizontal kit without the T on E-bay and saved 60 bucks. So it worked out that I ordered the 4 way cleanout w/clean out cap, and ordered vac cap with it as well. I got those from Northline Express w/free shipping over 99 dollers. So far I saved a total 80 bucks, now I have to determine how much straight pipe I need. Surprisingly it is cheaper to get 4' lengths then the telescopic 5.5'. But somehow I think I might be waiting till spring to punch holes in the roof. Will see.....but I will be able to build a new hearth pad to get the stove out of the way.

    About every two tons, when the damper has to be adjusted it is really time to do a full cleaning.

    Ran out of money and time, going have to wait till spring. Better off this way as the weather will be much warmer.

    did a search and couldn't find any info, how exactly does this airwash system work? where's the vent that flows the wash over the glass? the vent is not the 1/16" corrugated strip that surrounds the entire outside area of the glass?

    The air supply for the air wash is actually pulled around from the out side bottom edge of the glass. This is why there is a gap between the glass and the door, that's the air wash system. I hear the Mini A version works better than previous versions.
