Any of you guys have a problem with a stuck bypass handle on their Progress Hybrid? I was doing my normal routine tonight. Opened the air and bypass to get a strong draft. Then I reloaded the stove for the overnight burn. Waited a few minutes for flame and temperature to come a bit and tried to close the bypass. I got halfway there and it just got stuck. I had to really put some elbow grease into it to get it to turn. Has this happened to any else?
 
Yes I've had it happen once. Just didn't want to turn into fully closed. I worked it back and forth a couple times and it worked. No idea why.
