CB 6048 Boiled over
« on: October 31, 2014, 10:21:12 AM »
Anybody have any idea why one would do this? Happened the first time overnight, I found it the next morning at 199 degrees. Couldn't see or find a reason why, except that the vent tube was plugged from mud dobbers.
Then today while I was working near it, I seen the temp at 194 and the draft door was open......fiddled around and knocked some sense into it and the door snapped shut.....electrical gremlin?
Seems to me these things can't be safe.....good thing I didn't have a fresh load of wood in it!

Take the small cover off the front door under it is a solenoid that needs to be cleaned or replaced plus clean the creosote off the draft door make sure everything is nice and clean also make sure your door gasket is sealing good

Maybe I wasn't clear. The draft door is free and clear and not sticking.
I was knocking around on the side door around the electrical temp setting....
Since then I have fiddled with the temp settings to make the draft open and close but am not satisfied that anything is fixed.
