I didn't start burning til February of last year and prob ran about 40-50 bags through my PDVC. Do I need to replace burn pot and blower gaskets before I start burning this year? I know some of you are running 3-5 tons a year through your stoves and I got into this a little late into the season last year.
I have 2 spare gaskets for each, but if I can get away with burning another 1-2 tons before doing this cleaning, I certainly will do so. Matter of fact, I won't burn more than 1.5 tons in any year most likely as we won't start running the stove til Christmas time anyway.
I have finished all other annual cleaning including pipes, plates, and total ash removal. I'm just trying to decide whether or not to accomplish the recommended gasket replacements after only running the stove for 2 months and approx 1 ton of pellets.
Thanks!
