My glass left Virginia today.. I'm going to assume mike put it on the truck for me. As far as I'm concerned he is that whole company. Lol
Between giving it a good cleaning, getting new glass with the right seal, and moving the impingement plate to the center the problem is solved. As a noob I didn't realize you needed to clean up above and behind that plate. So I think that was one of my main problems really. I am noticing a funny smell though. I don't know if it's the sealer I used in place of the gasket on the combustion fan or the new glass seal kind of heating up for the 1st time and putting off a weird smell.
Could be a combo of both. No biggy. Glad its working now! Just keep up with the daily burn pot scraping and weekly cleanings.
When scraping the burn pot do I just scrape it and leave ash in the pot or do I scrape it and dump ash to the side?
Dig up to the embers and flip the ash to the side. As long as you leave enough to light back up, youll be good.
I need something with a longer handle.. burned my finger a little this morning getting so close to it... it's hot in there lol
Use a dollar general metal soup spoon works good for a buck. Jeremy urr fire box is like mine we don't have those big holes up top onsides ours are under the plate on both sides size of a quarter. Some suggest wedging steel wool in to plug them them more air comes thru the pellets. Ur not alone with being a noobe on mistakes when I got mine for 1st month I left that plate inside tipped toward glass blackened heck outta my glass lol
