Portage & Main Optimizer 350
« on: March 19, 2014, 08:31:15 AM »
We are back. After burning the 350 for less than two seasons the 2 1/2" air tubes (the Lowest tubes) in the fire box have split and started to open on both sides. Still have issues with fresh air plenum accumulating tons of creosote.

If you have the new style air box cover unhook the lower left hasp. If the old style remove some of the sheet metal screws. I know this is the opposite of what SlimJim encourages, but give it a try for a couple days.
