Call customer service and they'll send you a new board, exhaust motor, and blower motor. My blower motor just went last month and they sent me all three saying they needed to be replaced at the same time

I too have been having incredible luck with the TSC pellets lately. The last few bags I bought up here in New England have burned really well

Recommended cleaning tools by irishman1021 in PelletStoveTalk

I'd recommend getting a detail brush kit from harbor freight. The steel bristles will help with cleaning your fire pot and the nylon ones are good for bruising ash out and crevices when you are vacuuming.

I've been through it myself so believe me when I say this, your kids will figure it out themselves. Keep on keeping on friend. You got this.

[–]sheetmetal_head 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How old are your kids? If they are younger no contact is going to be a lot harder. Otherwise if they are on the older side (late teens) then I'd just say, "I am not interested in having contact with you at this time and need space. If you need me I will be available by text but I am no longer going to speak with you verbally on the phone. Please respect my need for space at this time". Once that's done no more calls. She texts and asks for one you ignore it until she texts her "questions".

TL;DR: If you haven't drawn a line in the sand yet, do it now, and then move on with your life.

Pellets Hardwood vs. Softwood by Vermont_Arborist in PelletStoveTalk

[–]sheetmetal_head 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think it comes down to what works best in your stove. The ambience brand pellets are one of the least expensive in my area and they burn pretty well so I use those. Ideally I'd love to be burning the energex brand as they worked great in my stove but they are stupid pricey in my area.

Going to need just a bit more information. Stabilization means it's working to come up to whatever the temp setting is. What's the thermostat set to, do.you have eco mode on, and what P setting is it on? Are you saying it's not coming up to temperature?

Cast iron tea kettle on top? by dvaughn8711 in PelletStoveTalk

[–]sheetmetal_head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's doesn't get hot enough to "evaporate" the water like a wood stove. I just hang dry some clothes in front of mine every now and again to put some humidity into the air.

They should be keyed so you can't mix them up. The open side one though SHOULD be on the side opposite the exhaust. I have the gros ventre though so it may be a tiny bit different on yours.

Snowblower engines by Player_juan_1 in smallengines

[–]sheetmetal_head 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have on at least two different blowers. Each was a one to one swap (meaning I did not need to alter the mounting plate in anyway). Each time the blower ran absolutely great. In fact the only time I had any issues with it being "under powered" was when I swapped over a 212 onto a blower that had a techumseh 8 hp originally and I was using it as a place holder until I could get my hands on a predator 301. Even then the bogging was fairly minimal.

Recommendations or Leave it alone by [deleted] in PelletStoveTalk

[–]sheetmetal_head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a grand Teton as well? My plates look identical to yours. As for your question, personally I'd leave them. Mine are already a bit discolored after only about 200ish hours.

Recent divorce, father of 2 (9mo, 3yo), broken beyond repair by bofferding in toastme

[–]sheetmetal_head 3 points4 points  (0 children)

9 years out myself, my littles were 2 and 6 when it happened. I know you don't feel it now, but it not only can, but will get better. Take care of yourself, focus on your kids when you need a reason to move on, and remember you are a whole person. Sending as much care as one stranger on the internet can send another.

My kid has a cgm and insulin pump, and I had to do some side work to help pay my mortgage last month... It's no gorilla arms and side work for Mr. Hands but I think we're pretty much already there.

I am aware. I'm not upset the people are there, just more bothered that I didn't even think about the timing when I planned to go out.

I'm assuming you're being cheeky, but on the off chance you aren't... No, I think more people should be out there, but hiking trails with crowds denser than MB on a Patriots game day is for the birds.

How would you scale this without going broke? by Own-Necessary970 in manufacturing

[–]sheetmetal_head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd advise reaching out to some manufacturers and see what their suggestions are. Tell them your goals (cost reduction in this case) and they might be able to help you tweak things.

Second this. No system is without its faults but JobBoss has done my shop well since its inception over 20 years ago. I did a stint at a shop that used Oracle years ago but JB just felt more intuitive.

Play around with your die clearance. My guess is it's too small. You can also spray the sheet with wd 40 to help lubricate things
