Best way to tighten door on g200
« on: December 26, 2017, 02:04:47 PM »

Hey guys I've got some considerable drippage at the door into that pan I'm having to empty in about every 2 days what is the best way to tighten the Firebox door? I seem to have a small drip right by the Locking pin on the bottom left side

You've adjusted the roller in? It's on a carriage bolt in a slot.

Sometimes I've seen some gunk build up on the face of the door jamb and allow drips through a spot too.

Probably coming from some of that green slab wood you’ve been experimenting with. If it goes away with dry wood I wouldn’t do anything, you can only tighten em up so far then the gasket starts to lose elasticity.

Yup, I've burned some fairly green blocks in mine here and there the last couple months. They make heat but the condensation increases quite a bit.
I still brainstorm about heating a dry kiln with my stove. Haven't had the time to chase it. I think a small warm room with a cold wall and condensate drain underneath would work great.

I havebt burned any green slab wood the past week or so. All ash and oak now with colder temps. I actually think most of the water in my tray in from the damn snow we got for about 5 days straight. Past 2 days no snow and very little moisture in the tray. It is still dripping a tiny bit but nothing substantial
