Geez...Even MY stove is filthy...

[krooser]

My bride called me Tuesday night... the burn pot is overflowing with pellets, the plastic handle on the ash pan has melted (burning pellets in the ash pan) and the flame sucks...

I knew it was time after 1 1/3 tons since I cleaned it last spring but geez... now I have to work!

You have to love a guy for living on the edge!! Break out that vacuum, leaf blower, and cleaning gear and get to work!

Damn it krooser, you ain't got your staff trained by now, how come?

I had my wife clean the one here to be sure she knew what to do.

You the giver to hearth.com and its many members of the best way to get the crud out of the stove have not trained your staff.

Unbelievable.

She does a vac job every few days... draws the line when it comes to removing the ash trap doors an stuff like that..

Hello

You should have seen that EF2i in the garage before I picked it up.

The ash pan was full of ash. The fire box was buried in ash. The heat exchanger cleaning rod was bent and jammed solid and would not move. The ignitor died a while ago and the 120 Degree overfire switch was shot so the auger would not turn!! It was only 3 years old! It was used by women to heat a girls dormitory!! LOL

I'm not that sharp tonite!

I did another quick cleaning...the SIH pellets don't seem to like a low fire (lots of packed ash in the fire pot). It's running OK but I'll do the LBT after it stops raining tomorrow....
