When I bought it and cleaned it out, I found an old wheel cylinder from a set of drum brakes in the firebox. Do you think the previous owner might have been burning garbage?

Nawwww . . . If ya get the iron red hot, sometimes you can get the aluminum pistons to free up . . . he just went back in the shop, got another beer, and forgot about the wheel cylinder The aluminum probably just got mixed in with the ashes:roll:

I've been told that the local CB dealer here built his new house with a gas furnace, no wood. How ya 'spose he got'z the money for the gas. . . . and new house???
 
Dead btu, this reminds me of an owb maker down the road 30 miles. I stopped in their office and they were loading a pellet stove. Went in their shop and they were not useing anything to heat it with, not even their own product. Makes a guy think if they didn't even use their own owb why should I?
