Right back in the crapper again.
Stove was cleaned on Saturday afternoon and stayed on 4 after.. Stove shut down Sunday afternoon because it was too warm in the house. So yesterday 4am I go to start it, said to myself hey it's cold might as well empty the ash pan while it's off and it'll go an extra day before cleaning.
SURE.
Center ash pan was jam packed with ash. Versagrate was pulled out Saturday as was the burn pot and ALL the holes were cleaned out by hand. (really good too) The versagrate plate was jammed almost completely shut yesterday am. Emptied ash pan out and started the stove.
Yesterday afternoon I shut it down again. ONE bag through the thing. FULL ash pan...overfull...pan holds prob around 3-4 cups of ash. Versagrate plate is again jammed with hard ash.
If this keeps up I'll be offering free inferno pellets soon. I'm not playing this game again this winter. UGH.
FWIW this is about 7 bags into a fresh ton, different than what we been burning. Going to another pile later and see if it makes a difference.
