You might want to check with your dealer to cover the cost of the fountain. These were orginally warrented for the life of the stove. My dealer listed my stove as a newer model failure thereby replacing it under the "new" company warrentee.bsa0021 said:Engineer2: You should not be able to see light as you describe. It sounds like the enclosed chambers inside the fountain have disintegrated. My fountain was toast after 3 years of 24/7 burning (see photo). Do you have flaking material above the shoe? Before you buy another fountain, make sure you don't have cracks around the bypass door as I did.
Hanko said:bob, there are two things you have to keep track of. take the top off (two bolts from inside) there are two chambers that run down on each side. you have to get a small vacuum attachment to get down there and clean it. Also if you let the ash build up to high, that interferes with it also. Despite what some of these people say, its a great stove. You just need an IQ above 50 to operate it which there is a lack of around here

Obviously you need to scan the numerous negative posts on the Everburn system. There have been lots of post with similar experiences as Engineer2's. The system may occasionally work, but not all the time and not for everybody. Why else would it be nicknamed Neverburn? to make a statement like yours about IQ above 50 was needless and derogatory to the many people that have struggled with this stove. You are entitled to your opinion that it's a great stove, just layoff the IQ comments.
How old is your Dutchwest?Hanko said:becaused IM sick and tired of people bashing my stove. I believe in my heart that 99% of the poor performance is either install issues, or operator error. There are three of these stoves in my family and they all have been great. Im not talking about the folks like the thread starter who have developed problems, Im talking about the person who shouldnt have a wood stove, the one that cant or wont read the owners manual. The one that puts in his own system and fails. This crap had been going on for a few years now, and IM just tired of reading about incompitance. GO but a gas fireplace, maybe you can figure that out.
There's no reason to get personal. This is supposed to be a friendly fourm to discuss, learn and help others with wood burning.Hanko said:becaused IM sick and tired of people bashing my stove.
