There was a Craigslist deal locally for a used beefy 38,000 BTU pellet stove last weekend locally for $500. I offered $400 and they took it...so watching two guys try and hoist around a seemingly 350+ pound monster would probably be described as involving a monkey and a football. Pulling out a full hopper of pellets and a few of the loose items we maybe shaved 50 pounds off that and wrestled it into a truck.
When I finally got it home it didn't just magically fire up...even after I half-ass installed it. Found out the intake/exhaust fan wasn't turning....so some clean up of the impeller with some solvent....a bit of screwdriver action to clear away some gook this 80's piece of analog retro art seems much happier. Good draw, started nicely, and as I crank it up another notch after 20 minutes ago the garage is starting to warm up nicely.
And I'm not even woozy. :clapping:
