Hello

I just fired it up tonight so I do have Working pics!!!

The first 2 pics are as I found it almost abandoned on that door step!

The Jam Proof Auger was frozen from damp storage!!
See >> https://www.hearth.com/econtent/index.php/forums/viewthread/90644/

Then when I tried to connect it to the 3" Duravent in the shed, I found the exhaust flange on the Quad was almost 12" lower then the Pelpro Bay View. So another 12" pipe would not work, I had to get another 12" adjustable!
Now with 2 12" adjustables, almost any stove with a 3" vent will fit!

When I first turned it on, the Auger would not turn!

Then I realized I did not plug the vacuum line back into the vacuum switch before I put the back on!!!
That will do it every time!!

Then the T-Stat would not turn the Quad on. Oops, I realized it was not wired for the 24volts. LOL
See Lux T-Stat for Quad and how it works!! >> https://www.hearth.com/econtent/index.php/forums/viewthread/90147/

Now it all works. Amazing! The only parts needed was a Snap Switch and a Door Gasket!
See Generic Snap Switch Conversion! >> https://www.hearth.com/econtent/index.php/forums/viewthread/90615/

And of course $30.00 worth of PAINT!!
