Ssy-icicle.

The frankenmotor I sent her will force a draft the stove has never seen before so hopefully we can get it burned out

I'm interested to see if any burnt out candy corn creosote glazing has recoated any of the places I just cleaned on it's way out.

 

[Ssyko]

We will see tracking says it will be delivered tomorrow.

Nope! It just got here safe and sound. My mail is generally delivered very late in the day. I hate it, but...

Ok Ssyko, so I'm disconnecting the stove from pipe again, and removing the whole motor and part that connects to the stove pipe, what did you call that? And taking the fan blade I just replaced off, and this time the motor too. and putting both back on the metal tube part that hooks to the stove pipe. Is that about right?

 

[Rxwoman1961]

Oh, and using this different fan blade.

I bet Ssyko sent it UPS. If he sent it USPS it might have shown up next halloween...

I'm on the freaking edge of my seat hoping that Ssyko's turbo motor does the trick on your stove. We're all pulling for a successful turn in this epic saga.

Halloween? Well, it IS a Frankenstove.

yep that’s exactly what to do. The new squirrel cage fan uses a T15 torx bit to tighten it on the shaft. Also the shaft and hub of the fan should be flush when you tighten it.

Nope sent it usps Priority so it didn’t end up like 3 control boards that took 3 weeks to get. USPS has taken Some steps Backwards this last few years.

Hope she has a T15 torx bit...
Also anxiously waiting ....

Doing better than us. My wife has been waiting for a pair of socks she ordered last December that have become world travelers. Everywhere but here. Tracking shows them travelling thousands of miles but never arriving in our mailbox. High mileage socks.....

 

[Ssyko]

i know i had one guy send me a board on Dec11,2020. he lives about 200 miles from me in the same state. the board was in Florida for 9 day's soaking up the sun i guess. i recieved the board Dec31(smelled like coconut oil lol)

Cannot wait to see the condition of the packaging when it finally arrives, if it ever does. Rain, shine, snow or sleet, the mail must go through. Guess that don't mean through to you, just through to some point elsewhere...

I do! Just found it. My husband left a whole Ryobi bit set thingy. Yay Arne.
God I miss that man.
Finding something with a skinny enough handle to fit the bit into might be a little trickier, but I'm not that far yet.

 

[Ssyko]

allen wrenches?

When in a bind, I’ve even resorted to using a small crescent wrench to turn one of those bits 1/4 turn at a time.

YMMV

Oh! I do. I have little bitty ones.

 

[gfreek]

"Bless Arne." .There should be adapters of sorts for that torx. Usually it fits in a 1/4 inch hex, six sided socket, with a rachet or screwdriver type driver. Hopefully the torx bit will fit in the 1/4 inch socket..

 

[Rxwoman1961]

I guess the stuff IS cooking out.

Did you happen to get those creosote pellets? Wondering how well they work....it’s definitely coming off!
