we picked up this P61 non auto on a trade. I dunno what the guy was doing to it, but (as you can see) I had to resort to a 200,000 btu propane flamethrower to burn the gummy cresote outta it. Needless to say, its gonna need more than a coat of paint and new door gasket... while i'm at it I'm gonna install an auto ignition system and new motors. I've seem pellet stoves messed up, never seen a Harman this dirty. He never cleaned it other than vaccuming out the ashpan w/ a ash vac - I had to pry the ashpan door open with a prybar becuase of the gummed on soot acting as a glue. - I removed the middle and right firebrick so you can see a comparison in the middle pic.
