Just gave my stove the big annual cleaning...

[strangemainer]

What a great feeling now that that is over!

Replaced burn pot gasket, window gasket, door gasket, hopper gasket, combustion blower gasket, and convection gasket.
Vacuumed every nook and cranny. And cleaned out the vent pipe.

Now if i can find a deal on pellets

It is a GREAT feeling to know that all you have to do is throw pellets in, and hit the ON button when the cold starts.

Don't forget to leave it unplugged for the summer. Just safer that way. Also plug the vent and OAK wihile you are at it.

Happy pellet hunting to you!

I will no doubt plug the vents.

Forgot about that !!

I need to take my combustion blower off to clean it. Scared that I will mess thing up if I do though. It is very hard to get to.

Mine is unplugged, hopper empty & vacuumed, silica gel moisture absorber in firebox, rag stuffed up the exhaust pipe, and OAK is duct taped up outside.....15 minutes and I can be ready to fire her up!

silica gel, interesting, I might try this, last year I sprayed the inside with PAM.

I use a couple of these in the firebox....can be "re-activated" when full of moisture simply by baking in the oven.....work great.
