Ok, got the fire lit. It should stay burning till late March, mid April. The smell of fire will be back on my jacket 
. As I was lighting up, it started to sleet. So winter has started in my book

Also check the mounting nuts and bolts for tightness. They like to work loose I lost one that way and all the rest were loose.

Wanna know what the Japanese are doing with their crap these days? Can you say "cheeseburger, cheeseburger, cheeseburger.... Pepsi!"

« on: March 05, 2014, 05:33:20 PM »Ok, after eyeball the solenoid set up, if the clip rotates 90 degrees, not 180 degrees because it physically can't, it will hang the flapper open. I was able to get the flapper to hang open about 3/16-1/4" after fiddling with the clip. Then I watched the temp slowly rise. With the clip rotated in the wrong direction, the flapper will not close snugly, even pushing on the it will not close it. So maybe a thru-bolt instead of a clip will work. It seems that the solenoid opens way too violently fast, which can make the clip rotate.Hummmmmmm..... If I recall, when mine stuck open, the clip rotate about 180 degrees, hanging the chain up. Can it still do that now with the shrink wrap?Check that chain, it can get tangled up on the clip on the solenoid when it slams open. I played around with set bolt on the flapper to take out excess slack. It happened to me once when I 1st got the thing. Temp hit 195, luckily I caught it. Knock on wood, it has been ok since. I had been thinking of rigging a pull rod in leu of the chain, but am too lazy
Chain can't get tangled now, they have shrink wrap around them to keep that from happening

I have the cheapo 5 wrap stuff from ebay. So far it seems ok. Temp loss is about 1 degree, over a distance of 110', and that is what my cheapo, infrared temp gun says.

That wood you have there is some of the best burning wood I have come across . Looks like Honey locust to me. But I am far, far from being a tree expert.

Well there is no ash grating of any kind. It is just a big empty barrel inside, 36" wide by about 48ish" deep. I clean mine out about every 2-3 weeks. I take out about 5-6 gallons of ash each time I clean it. It's pretty simple, just let it burn down abit to coals, rake the coals to the back, shovel out the fine ash in the front. Then pull the coals back to the front, throw more wood in and you are good to go . Hope this helps.
