This is not to say our pots have the exact same # of holes. But the bottom 8 holes (4 front and 4 back) are common on ALL Quad/Heatilators. Should have clarified that above.
Stove was installed new last December (2011) and has only seen a bit over 2 tons of pellets total. I have never pulled out the combustion blower.
All things that are not known by the typical homeowner.
The horizontal pipe that goes through the wall of the house gets cleaned about once a month. I guess it was the one thing that I forgot to do this spring when I cleaned the stove out after the heating season was finished. It was about 1/3 full of fine ash right after the 90 before it goes outside. The feed gate is now back open to were it has always been and the flame acts like it always has. Only issue to figure out now is why it is still randomly shutting off before desired room temp is met or even sometimes not even starting after the T-stat calls for head. It has done that since the second day it was in operation.
X2 that is the thermocouple inside a ceramic sleeve.....had an issue with ours and loosened the bolt holding the creamic cover,removed ceramic cover,tapped in into my palm and got the ash out of it.....vacuumed around the thermocouple....then replaced the ceramic cover --making sure that the cover is pushed on as far as it will go,insuring it makes contact with the end of the thermocouple wire{ceramic cover wont push on any farther}....For Smokey The Bears benefit,please do this with a cold stove........That little piece sticking over the burn pot on the right side. Take the (I think) 3/8" bolt and clamp off. Clean the tube, inside and out, clean the wires, and re install.
Yup the gasket goes all the way around the door. As for the t-stat, it's a cheap POS and as soon as the dealer has more of the digital ones in stock I will pick one up. I will also check the thermocoupler as well. Thanks for the help guys.
Hey you mean a little elbow grease in the cleaning department helped, who would have thunk that.
