Picked up the new stove today a day early. I found myself off work and called them to see if it would be OK.
What a fun time it was unloading the 500lb stove from my truck up onto my front deck.
I backed the truck up to the stairway and ran some ramps up the remaining step.
A friend helped me roll it across and up on the deck. She really helped out.
I don't think I could have done it alone with what I had.
The first couple of pics are un-crated.
The next couple are its first burn.
I plan on burning it for about 5 hours on high to bake off the paint.
I snapped on the cleanout t and a 3' section of vent just to arrest any sparks.
I am keeping an eye on it as I really like my house.
Had 1 issue lighting her up the first time.
I put in about 20lbs of the new Okanagan's I picked up Monday and turned it on.
It tried to do a start up cycle but of course the auger was not primed.
Ended up getting a flashing 3.
Cycled power and it then started up no problem.
Of course the burn pot was really full by that point and was pushing unburnt pellets out the sides.
Got lots of flame right out of the box
I let it burn those clear then moved the hear up to setting 3.
Only question I have is that the top cast plate seems to be floating in the front.
It seems like it should be more firmly fixed in place.
Does the top remove to empty the hopper? I don't see it in the manual.
I'm sure I'll figure it out
Also the hopper door sits high on the gaskets. I assume this is to allow the gasket to wear down and still seal.
Unit is sitting my my front porch and heating up Cape Cod as we speak.
Hope to install it tomorrow.
Thanks for looking,
