| The stove that you have, does that have a stir rod, I used to have one, and now I sold it to a friend, It looks like you don't have holes in you new pot to support one, if that pot works for you I am sure that my friend would like to hear more about it. |

The pot is experimental. The AES stove is a stirrer stove. A factory made non-stir clinker pot is available. I have one of those and it works well.

I think our host has abandoned us again! Tall did you get a PM to you question in the other thread???
Rick - Any new experiments ???
PB150 friends - if you haven't tried the reversed multi fuel pot - you should - in this mild weather with one full feed cup reduced - it works great and saves fuel.
Rick - with that in mind - maybe try to weld the next self clean cornpot so it sits as hi as possible in the burn chamber - more air holes near the fall out and on the manifold end - and raise the sides two inches on a 45 degree taper so as to direct the fire more at the HX!

Well sorry to leave you, I was in Las Vegas trying to win money, and get a tan, Well I think you are right sting, the next pot I build will have more hole on the end and a deeper spot in the center to have a pool of corn when It goes to idle and then maybe it will not go out.
As for your reversible pot, how would that work with corn, I still have lots of corn to burn, so I need to work with that.
On my high top pot, that is made for wood, It does not last long and I have to clean it you. Well back to the drawing board |

Did your PB150 come with a hit top pot?? or did you order it? This is the first news we have had here that there is another in existence!!!!
cool
You say the factory sold it to you specifically for wood pellets?
It burns corn well also.

I bought this stove used and it came with one, and yes it burns corn fine, it will build up and force the hot corn up after a while and eventually spill over the top, and it also has some cracks in, it But I use Lagrange gold welding rods and that took care of that,
Well I will be gone until Thursday so talk to you then |
