Greetings

[Madhatter]

Well, I have been lurking here for a few weeks now and figured it was time to register and introduce myself.

First off, I am a pellet newbie. I have just purchased my first pellet stove, a 7 year old Harman Advanced.
It is in excellent shape, and I was able to watch it flawlessly run for a few cycles before the previous owner had it removed.
Gave $900 for it, seemed like a fair price to me.

I plan on doing the install myself this summer and I am sure I will have some questions for you all as I get up to speed.

Seems like a good bunch of people here, I'm looking forward to getting to know you all.

Well, Czech is right about stealin' yer beer, but by the time three people offer advice, you'll be totally forgotten, and everybody will be arguin' about OAK, or Simpson vs. Excel. Just kiddin' (sorta), welcome aboard.

Now about that OAK comment, isn't that a kind of tree ;-).

Greatings. Check out the rubber grommets on the auger motor housing. A stove about that age is certain to have worn soft rubber there which will cause the motor to twist under a hard load and the chain may skip the sprockets. The fix: Get rid of the rubber grommets and tighten the motor metal to metal on the housing. A simple realigning of the gears will be needed but can be done with a 1/4 inch allan key and a straight edge..
