wow just got really scared.
I loaded up the stove with several full logs and a couple ez-bricks. I had a pretty good flame going and decided to shut down the draft to normal (25% or so). Came upstairs and crawled in bed. turned on Gold Rush and got about 15 minutes into it
Then BAM…for what ever reason the electricity goes out. I figured it would be a quick on and off thing. Then I remembered my fully loaded stove and the fan would not be working. So by now a half hour has gone by. As soon as I hit the top of the steps I smelled something really hot. I ran down the steps and immediately shut down the draft all the way. But I could tell the stove was getting hotter with out the fan cooling it down and blowing off the heat. I looked onto the flu collar and could see it just staring to glow red. I’m really starting to crap my pants now!! 40 minutes have gone by now since the electric has gone off. Then the power finally kicks on and the fan just starts pouring out the heat. This has to be the hottest I have ever felt the heat.
Now I’m thinking…What do I do if this ever happens agin…What if my fan quits in the middle of the night….
What are you guys doing? Has this ever happened to you?
