I've been having trouble with the nozzles clogging up.
My ash has been turning into "concrete".
Sometimes it's real hard to scape the bottom of the chamber and when I loosen it up some of the nozzles are clogged solid.
I had to take a splitting wedge and tap it with a hammer to break through!
The WG has 6 nozzles down the center of the combustion chamber.
They are about 5/8" x 2".
Obviously, I have also been having trouble with gasification, stack temps only 150-200*
Thursday I did a total cleaning of the unit.
Swept clean the burn chamber and everything was spotless.
Saturday night I couldn't gasify at all. In fact I put my hand over the fresh air intake and barely felt any air moving.
Normally it sucks air like a vacuum.
I had a t least 4-6" of red hot coals and several charcoaled splits. I wasn't hearing that roaring sound it normally makes when I open the combustion chamber.
I can't open the gasification chamber, it interrupts the air flow and you lose gasification instantly.
I let it burn down enough to move the coals to find 3 clogged nozzles again.
And I'm tellin' ya they are packed solid and hard as a rock.
What's going on?
