Hey all,
Been lurking around here off and on for a couple years. Gotten lots of great insight to buring pellets and have really gotten very comfortable doing everything my stove has needed so far.
I was going through it today doing a top to bottom cleaning on it. Sorry i dont own a leaf blower so gotta do it the hard way. When I went to put the heat shield (or baffle) that hangs below the heat exhangers back on the screws, I overtightened it and the screw snapped off. This wouldnt be a big deal since the baffle stays in place nice and snug with one screw. How have i acquired this fine knowledge??? Well the first season i had the stove guess what i did?? yup same stupid thing on the other side. Soooo, now my stove has no heat shield guarding the exhangers.
two part question. how long can i run the stove without a heat shield? (BTW getting GREAT heat outta her now could also be the agway/hamers?? pellets i got today to try) and without a tap set any great macguyver tricks to getting it out or alternative hanging methods??? drill new hole seems obvious but no idea how much space to either side i have to play with without making a bigger problem.
thanks all!!
Craig
