Yes, if you can catch the creosote early you can get a lot of it out but it still tends to build up and when it hardens it is a bugger to get out. I am going to get a set of the rear panels if I can to see if it helps lesson the buildup.

Lately I sure feel like a wood slave. The land owner where I do most of my cutting wants to put in a food plot and dropped about 22 oak trees for me to cut up and clear out. Oak blight is going through the woods so they would all be dead sooner or later but they ranged from 12 to 30" in diameter. Next time I will offer to drop them myself so I don't have to cut them up four deep on top of each other. I should be about 3 years ahead after this cutting season.

Hordac how old is your G200?

Shoppy Just bought it end of December. I kept the ashes from the sides but the corners not so much and it shows. Going to buy a ash vac this year and clean it every week this season. Not a fan of shoving my fat ass in the boiler for 3 hours and it still is not perfect. Where I cleaned it regularly it took just a few minutes to scrape. Lesson learned and will do it different this year. Anyone know how long the bricks last for and where to get new ones if needed.

I wouldn't get too concerned about cleaning it Hoardac at least not to the point of doing it weekly, as pissed as I am with the office the boiler itself is pretty forgiving and I'm sure they can arrange to have any parts you might need shipped to you.
I do apoligize for what happened between the office and myself but you need to know that it was not my decision, I'll still try to help where I can but any parts you may need will more than likely need to come direct from the factory after they pick up their product from my property.

Richard, any idea how much the two nozzle bricks are? Mine have some cracks running through them. I would like to get the two halves on hand in case they broke mid season. Thanks.

I have no idea Honda but with the amount of times that you have said nice things regarding the product, I would be very surprised if Jake didn't tell you to come on up and get a set from the stock I have here, but that would be his decision!

How clean the firebox is kept might be somewhat personal preference.
 I have yet to see any corrosion from moisture or creosote in a 409 firebox, that's from what I've seen in G's since 2013 and MF's since about '06. The older MF models had long door jambs that would sweat and puddle creosote if wood moisture was high, I've scraped it off and underneath it's slick and shiny.
 Obviously you don't want the creosote to puddle and build back up into the air channels though.

Richard, boy that would be nice, either way though it would probably make sense for me to have a set on hand.  That or a fan motor would put me out of service for a few days at the least in the middle of winter

[slimjim]

I still have the product on hand and I know for a fact they are watching, if they give me the go ahead I'll pull it from the return pallets, perhaps you should give them a call?

Thanks Richard.
