Hi All
I looked around and didn't see a threat on the klinker king burn pot so just looking to get some feed back on it .
I ordered one and should be here today and will try it on a Vogelzang vg-5790 pellet stove . It looks like goos feedback on the bay and from there wed site has well ..
So if you tried one like to here how it worked out and what stove was tried on .
 
Looks like a burn pot extension? i have Different stove and just made one out of flat bar works pretty good on my stove.
 
That's cool. I've read more than once about the 5790 missing the pot with pellets. Never had that issue with my 5770 so the geometry of the setup must be different with the 5790.
 
I would report it to eBay. They will make the seller change the name/wording

The geometry of the 5770-5790 is the same , 5770 has a different door and doesn’t hold 3 bags of pellets.....

Works 100 percents
 
Ok I've had the burn pot extender for a month or so now and will say it is construdeco well and dose burn 98% of the pellets but DO NOT burn for more than 4-5 days depending on your feed setting if you do it will fill with ash way more than it should have and I think in no time it will take it's toll on the 2 blower motors.
As far as the seller well I'll let you be the judge of that one you see the post that was left from that person.
So is it werth$118..???

I have the 5790 and it has a feed rate setting on it1 to 5 and yes it does feed more pellets as well as fan speed.
And the ash that fills the side chanbers is what I'm talking about I don't think it's a good idea to let it get that full ..Fire Hazzard ???

I may or may not know what I'm talking about but I do know a stove has to breathe to function right so you should really be careful how you inform people so it's not HAZARDOUS... Sorry for the extra Z

With the Klinkerking, that step is primitive , cleaning out everyday.
With the vg- 5790 you don’t have too . 8 days..fly ash , no more scraping or clogging , so now I ask “snow11” what do you think klinkerking is coming out with next??... , it’s going to blow the competition away

Just stop. Peddle your home made pellet stove parts if you want, but don’t try to tell people they don’t have to clean their stove because of some miracle fix. No matter what pellet stove you have, you should clean your burn pot every day. Anyone trying to tell people they can go over a week without cleaning has no business giving people advice about pellet stoves. But what do I know, I only work on 700-900 stoves every year.

5 days x 52 weeks = 260 days of work thats only doing 3.4 stoves a day. So it’s not impossible if your in the business.
 
I work 5-6 days a week running 3-5 service calls a day and I sometimes work on stoves that have been traded in to us after running my calls. I do repair during the burn season and seasonal cleanings the rest of the time. I work on quadrafire, Harman, Breckwell, heatilator, st. Croix, lennox, Whitfield, Winslow, country Stove, Englander, Napoleon, magnum, and occasionally anything else that burns corn or pellets that needs fixing. The only liar here is the one trying to make money off of gullible people.

That's a pretty broad statement to make considering the many different burn pot setups. I'm using a home built clinker pot. I'm on the 11th year with it and no way do I need to clean it every day depending on how high I'm running the stove. I also made and sold at least 50 of those pots with a money back promise, not a one ever returned and only nothing but praise for them even years later from people that bought and used them.

Even just running the original agitator I would never need to clean the pot everyday, in fact the only time I cleaned it was during the weekly shut down and cleaning.

It's been several years since making pots and selling them but the amount of knowledge and mods that were available on the old IBC forum was extensive and most only improved the machines, mods made by users, time tested, safe and welcomed by most willing to do the work.

I’m not talking about what you can get away with. I’m talking about what you should do if you want your stove to burn the way it was built to. I’ve cleaned a lot of stoves with these adapters and I’ve seen a lot of cracked burn pots and creasoted exhausts from people thinking they shouldn’t clean daily because they can get away with it. I have an uncle who doesn’t believe in oil changes and he literally never changes his oil. Can he get away with this for a long time? Possibly. Is it advisable? No.
