Englander plate mod.

[Pete Zahria]

I saw this pic, but have not seen the thread where it came from.
Has anyone tried this, and what seemed to be the results?

Thanks.

I made it about 3 years ago Pete. Along with plugging the holes on both sides under the plate. It has greatly improved the burn characteristics in the 25pdvc and pdvc. I've done the mod on 11 stoves myself and quite a few members have done them also. I never really made a thread but just added the pics when folks have had issues

Thanks...
I plugged the two big holes underneath a long time ago,
that by itself did make quite a difference..
I did chamfer the underside of the holes in the plate..
What do you have your 3 buttons set at?
Currently at 3-4-1 on mine. I generally have the stove set
at 1-3 mainly to keep the garage somewhat warm..
A bag goes a day on those setting for me.

I sold my last pdv to a co worker and we installed it in his shop 2 weeks ago. He says he left it on my setting which I believe was same as yours and the glass is still clean and keeps his shop around 60-65. 2 bags a weekend.

Single best thing I did to my PVD.

What do you mean plugging the holes

 

[BackDoc]

I used stove cement and filled the holes that are marked in yellow.

I covered the two bottom holes under the burn plate , which made my stove run perfectly, but didnt mod the plate. I find the holes in the front blow ash out and into the collection areas on either side thus requiring less maintenance on my part. If my stove didnt burn pellets to fine ash, i would prolly do the mod on mine. Running green supremes appellation hardwoods magic numbers on 4-4-1. YMMV

I did this mod as picture shows last week. What a difference!! I had holes plugged underneath last 2 yrs and stove ran ok but ashes built up and had to be cleaned every 24hrs. Now I did plate mod and can run for days without cleaning! Not very cold out, running on 1/2 and 24hrs to a bag
