I just did a nice good cleaning on the stove in prep for the first burn of the season tonight. house got to 59, so it's finally time.
First fire, won't kick on the convention blower after 30 min of 'start' flame. Probably that damn snap switch on the blower again (replaced last year at start of season).
let it sit for a few hours to cool and cleaned the blower and snap switch again to double check it before heading to the dealer tomorrow. I need to buy a pipe cleaner brush and wanted to see what their prices for energex american's are (the only brand they sell currently)
Now, i have a smoke leak coming from my exhaust pipe. I didn't disconnect it or anything to clean it (i have a trap door on the bottom of mine that i just open and bang out... still need to do the brush when i get it)
So, needless to say, i'm not burning tonight. I still haven't gotten any pellets yet (have a few bags left over from last season).
I'm bummed out right now. I actually said to myself, 'screw it, just use the furnace this year'.
guess we'll have to see if warranty will cover that switch again. lifetime warranty on the stove, but i don't think all these misc parts are included in that. It never ends.
