Do any of you Garn guys know if there is an actual key for the keyway on the blower/motor shaft. I see two set screws and a keyway, but no key.
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

Tom Thanks, found it. After I got it assembled along with the clean-out cover, I plugged it in. WOW!! Talk about massive amounts of combustion air. The inlet and vent pipes weren't connected yet, and the loading door was open. Created a huracaine in the building and almost sucked me through the loading door. I can hardly imagine what it's going to be like with 100lbs of oak ablaze in there 
Sawyer,
We ordered in early June and it arrived in Maine in late August. Then it sat in a nearby(100 miles) warehouse until we were ready on 10-10-08 when it was delivered here. We could have had it here in August, it turns out, if we had been ready.
Hope yours comes through ok.

Thanks Rick,
Perhaps mine will be available for pick-up soon. My dealer is trying to find out when, but as usual, communications with Garn is inconsistent at best.

Have you been able to get any other prep work done? I see you have the fuel covered. WOW 32cords!!

I have the underground piping buried the 175’ to my workshop. I am waiting to pick up the Garn before I do anything else. I am in the process of finishing the last house I will ever build so there are plenty of projects to complete outside before the snow starts falling Sunday.
I am now up to 35 cords, my wife and I did a little clean-up on the hard maple “pole timber”, that hard as a baseball bat maple that is dry, standing, without the bark. I can use that right off the saw. The 32 cord woodshed was for our fireplace which heated the house on 8 cords a year. A four year rotation assured dry wood. I will be curious how much I use with the Garn as I will also be heating the 2400 sq.’ workshop, the lower level of the house and the domestic hot water. Hopefully I will be pleased.
Keep posting your progress on your installation, I learn a lot every time someone installs one. I enjoy the photos, bet you can't wait to see that inferno in the ceramic chamber!
