Well, I shutdown the E-Classic 1400 for the season yesterday. With temps finally climbing into the 50's, 60's and some 70's it was time to give myself a break from tending the fire twice a day. When I shut her down she was running just as strong as when I purchased her. It never gave me any problems that weren't self imposed. There are a couple of other reasons for it too. The only problem I have is the air channel needs attention so I moved the OWB to my shop so I can tackle it over the summer. I have an idea what I want to do and I'll see how it goes. Another reason I needed to move it is my nephew will be buying it from me later this year, that'll give me time to give the air channel some attention. The main reason is that I have purchased a new CB unit, it's the Classic Edge 550 HD. It's being delivered in late May (my choice of delivery date). With all of the advances in design and the ease of cleaning I think I have made the right choice for me. Plus, I'll be able to monitor what it's doing anywhere there is a WIFI connection. Roger
