Pellet Stove Rant

[BrotherBart]

if you pull apart an exhaust blower you will see that the hole the blower shaft passes through is not sealed airtight. on an igniter stove usually they smoke a bit heavier at the time just before starting the physical flame. during this time its not uncommon to smell a hint of smoke. this usually dissipates rapidly when the actual flame pops up. usually its not overpowering at all, and usually its gone in a very short time afetr light off. if its there constantly its a problem

Now you tell me. That adapter and pipe now has tape on it that probably weighs more than the stove. >:-(

Yeah, I always wondered about that one. Thanks for the advise, Mike.

I was pretty steamed yesterday and needed to vent to some other pellet guys. I just get mad when I buy something with a set of expectations and then once they have my money everything changes. It happens. Must move on.

Anything, thanks to every one else for their comments.
