fire_man said:What was that explosion I just heard coming from the South West? Oh yea, it must have been time for Terry to reload the Progress!
Officially, I find that comment degrading, demeaning and insulting! Personally? I find it funny as heck and probably exactly what I would have said if YOU had done what I did! :lol: :lol:
Actually, I have to admit, the bypass control lever is kind of confusing. I always shine a flashlight onto the knob after I engage it to make sure it shows "closed" face up.
It was much easier on the FV to be sure the cat was engaged, you just checked to make sure the lever was "up".
It wasn't the lever that got me off on the wrong track. It was that cut-a-way diagram of the smoke path with the by-pass damper open and the smoke passing through the cat on its way out of the stove! Just took that for gospel and started 'splodin' th' stove! Was kinda fun, but the cleaning up got kinda old! Did you find any unfamiliar stove debris on your place from that last explosion? :coolsmile:
