Portage & Main / changing pipes

« on: October 15, 2016, 12:06:52 PM »

This summer i changed the pipes so that it draws from the bottom and return to the top.I now notice that there is a 10 to 12 degree temp drop from the stove to the house that i did not have before.

Portage & Main / 28-40

« on: March 26, 2016, 02:19:24 PM »

I have had this stove all this winter,and if they would take it back and refund my money i would give it back.First  i made a outside stove that i used for 13 years ,till the back rusted through.
       -this stove smokes out the fill door no matter what i do,need a hazmat suit to fill the stove LOL
       -the water level gauge is a joke,i have to remove the gauge to fill it,and it only takes a bought 3 quarts from full to empty.
       -the fill door is made for left handed people,get dirty when my back end rubs on the open door.
       -they never finished the corners in the opening between the two doors, open insulation is exposed to sparks
       -have to open the back door to access the switch to shut of fan
       -no back light in control ,need a flash light to read temp
       -no insulation on back door
       -to deep from fill opening to bottom of stove,makes it hard to fill with big wood.

Portage & Main / moisture out chimney

« on: January 20, 2016, 06:38:11 AM »

This is my first post,2840 has been running for 2 weeks.  I have water drip out chimney clean out,i have brown ice sickles hanging there.b Smoke at fill up-if the fan is on it is not bad but you have to be fast or it gets HOT fast. If I fill it like they say, I cannot see from the smoke.

Has anyone added a length of chimney to get better draft? 

Thanks, Mike
