Woman called and said that her stove was taking 10-15 tries before it would light. hmmmmmm. This is a Summer's Heat stove. When I arrived it was actually working but cleaning the flue and the stove completely filled my 8 gal ash vac,

Sheesh. That's a testimony to the Englander that it worked at all.
 
where's the burn pot?? is the baffle plate installed correctly in the picture? it should be against the back wall above the burn pot, looks like a 55-shp10 or 22, cannot see enough in the picture to distinguish which.

It's underneath all that ash. Mike, seriously, I do not how this thing started up...but it did. I've always liked your products anyway...so I guess I'm biased. It's the 22 model. What the camera doesn't capture is the paint can sized dump that came out when I opened the door and hit the rug. They don't make drop clothes big enough! KAPOOOOOF!
 
I bet the owner said "your supposed to clean these things?????"

That's one ugly mess there!
 
HOLY COW!

I just dont understand some people!
 
Yup, we cleaned it every day and twice on Sundays.

Oh, you mean, not just the hopper?
