I don't have a OWB yet but have been burning wood most of my life. We have decided to purchase a out side unit for various reasons - dirt - safety - etc. just started reading this site a few days ago and bam it was gone . My first thought was now what do i do .  I'm very glad it's back.

Welcome to the site hope it stays around this time. Ask any thing you would like to know and somebody will be glad to help.

Broke up as much of it as I could, I've been trying to get a good hot hot fire going today to burn it up.  The woodmaster seems to have a square flange mated to a round pipe, seems kinda foolish.  I'm replacing the blower also since its full of junk, I got one for cheap through grainger.  Anyone have an idea of how they are wired up?  Pulling it apart it seems to have 2 yellow wires and 4 black wires (for the blower and the flap solenoid)  My new one has a white and a black ( both labeled line)

Well any news on how the fire is burning now?

Wait till spring and dig up the lines and replace.Like RSI said you will lose to much heat in the ground water.

When you get that good hot fire going leave your smoke baffle rod pulled out so the flames can go straight up the stack. That should clean it out for you.

Doesn't sound good if Ridgekid don't want to be a part of this site with the new owner.

Still haven't gotten up to sweep the chimney I need to borrow a taller ladder to get up on the roof to get to the stack.  But the blower seems to work fine, if I crack the door to give it some oxygen and a place for the smoke to pour out. It seems like if I shut the door and open it the smoke had smother the fire.  Thanks again for all the help, hope to sweep tomorrow if I can get a ladder and a way to stay up on the roof haha.

Well how did the sweep go?

15 for me seems to work just fine not a lot of smoke and no build up. So put that in your graph and smoke it.

Burned a creosote log yesterday, looking for a brush setup to run through the chimney. I've let the firebox run down to very minimal amount of ashes/coals. I haven't had a chance to pull the blower apart and clean it. I might pick up an extra blower Monday from Grainger just to have, but I'm still stumped on whats causing my fire not to burn correctly. I did manage to get the smoke bypass rod free, and pulled out 4-5 full shovelfuls of crap that fell out with it. Who knew how long that rod was? Wish I had been there for the start up this season to have made sure it was clean.

Now that you got that to move make sure to do it couple times a week.
And make sure the plate is still on the rod.

Yes unfortunately.  I'm trying to figure out how to get it unstuck.  I got it to move a bit more (3-4, maybe 5 inches).. Would burning a CSR log maybe help loosen it up?

It could I never used one. Just keep working it maybe it will let lose. Can you get it to twist at all then pull it back?

I think the stack could be partially blocked. This afternoon I ran the temp up to 181 with the door open, closed the door, then went to open it a minute or two later to toss a piece of scrap in and literally the gases/smoke blew up out the door probably 4-5 feet out the door easy, good thing I was low or it would have got me.  Unfortunately, the smoke baffle is locked right up, I can only get it to move an inch or two so I think its gummed up good.

You can only move an inch or two in and out?
