A big thank you

I haven't been on in awhile, but I just want to say thank you to everybody on here for all of your help. I am going into my second full season of burning with my hitzer 50-93 and I don't have enough great things to say. The stove is all I could hope for. Last year I burned 3 tons heating my 2400 sq. ft house including basement. The stove has great control and ease of use once you get the hang of it. Just like the ronco just set it and forget it until its time to give it some loving. I may not burn as much this year as I just insulated my house. Blow in insulation. That's a whole other post. I did end up installing a barometric damper not the manual damper. I may be losing alittle heat, but I prefer it as I often work long shifts and don't have to time to be babysitting it. At least that way I know it wont get too out of hand if it ramps up. The bimetallic thermastat on it may have a lot to do with it as we'll. anyways if your looking into getting a coal stove I would definately recommend the hitzer 50-93. Their service is great too. I just ordered new gaskets and a new hopper door latch and they were very helpful. Don't turn down your thermastat a d freeze all winter. Put in a coal stove! Hope everybody is well.

Glad to hear you are happy with your purchase. Smart move on the insulation...it will pay you back every day.

Great to hear your happy with the 50-93. Last year did we talk about the washer deal on the shaker?

Outstanding & that washer that George mentioned for the shaker nipple made a BIG difference on my 50-93--I said nipple didn't I ???

fred what is the washer for and where does it go my stove is just like the 50 93 except i have no hopper..bb

Where the shaker nipple come out of the stove body, we were constantly having a real hot spot there in the fire box-- the washer closes up the gap

thanx fred that is the same spot that i have all the dead ash after a 12 hr burn man a picture is worth a 1,000 words com sense i guess...

Hey Fred we did it again, giving away the secrets to our 24, 36, 48, hour burns.

It's about time you guys showed up...poor guy that started the thread had to wait a week.

It wasn't all that easy, first we had to form a committee to research the situation to find out who was to blame, then hire an engineer to confirm we'd actually used the proper UAE washer, then the union guys complained because we did our own filing of the washer---again, it wasn't easy & just took some time. All is good in the hand fired area--nowwww, you girly guys, seems like all kind of situations pop up.

I'm on here two or three times a day and I didn't see it posted, sure it wasn't moved from somewhere else on here.
