So, all week I have been setting up my booth for the local fair. Looks nice and it was a lot of fun. I'll post some pics this afternoon after I get back from Boston. The fair is Thursday night through Sunday night. In my booth I will be burning the Regency GF55 with Spruce Pointe pellets. If Tony from Inferno gets his act together, I'll have a ton of those in my tent too to raffle off.
For anyone local, AR Materials has Spruce Point softwoods for $289 per 1.25 ton delivered, but only if you order this weekend. This is a very good Alberta softwood pellet.
I tried like heck to get the solar panels up so I could run the stove and the tent lights without fair power but my inverter finally overheated. It was under sized (it came from a sump pump back-up) and I just cannot sink in the cash today to go get another one. Maybe if I sell a stove or two I can justify it.
Look for posts in the coming weeks about installing the solar back-up kit, I've been working on it all summer...almost done. If I could modify one of my stove to do domestic hot water I'd attempt an off grid winter.
Anyway, if you are local, come on down to the fair. Great LIITLE fair. The open circuit lawnmower racing is a blast to watch. There is LOTS of tractor pulling, a small midway and kereoke stage, kid rides and some great live stock. And best of all...ME! :lol: All in all, a very nice hometown fair.
Over and out till this afternoon with pics. After that I'll see you all Monday.
