I ordered a new condor theremo for my BK princess insert, I figured since I cant burn til my new cat comes in Ill do some maintenance. The original thermo is a bear to get in an out through the grill so I wanted one with a smaller face so I could get it out to clean it now and then. The original has a 2 inch face and 2 inch stem, the new one has an 1 1/2 inch face and a 2 1/2 inch stem, I could cut it if I have to but it seems to me it doesnt matter what the length is because it just rests against the cat, anyone know?
heres the new one
I also found out my door was pretty loose, it didnt pass the dollar bill test so I adjusted it, who knows how long I was burning like that, now its adjusted all the way so I hope it stays where it is for a while, the gasket is in good shape so no need to replace.
I think if I got a thinner nut, like a jam nut I could gain another 1/8 inch or so on the door adjustment if I need to but Ill worry about that later.
The cat should be here tomorrow, cant wait to get burning again with the adjustments. I ordered a new cat last week and it was in on my door step tuesday, I was excited so I took the old cat out and it crumbled as it came out so no way I can use it anymore, I open the new one and its the wrong size, the company had it listed wrong on their website so I has to exchange it for the correct size.
