Thanks for the support Tom. It was a workout for this old body to coordinate, the floor is a little rough it was out of reach under the bottom pattern on the form when I vibrated the works. The plith sits true so its not a big deal. I had intended to apply a high temp. gasket between the bottom two sections, I was convinced it was not needed. If I find this a problem I can still add one on the underside of the middle section. I guess its ready for a good clean-up and paint job before I light a fire in it. Cheers Tom :beer: CB |

Did the furnace clean-up yesterday, came across a problem in the lift assembly. The unsuported end of the top pulley was deflecting with the added weight of the refractory, occasionally dragging the cable instead of turning. Not good. I suspected it was to easy a solution when I pulled it out of the junk box but hindsight is 20/20 as they say. So back to the junk box we go. This is what I came up with. Installed this morning and tried it out. Works great no hang-ups. Cheers CB |

Started firing the furnace to dry out the lining this morning. Tried out the dual burner on gas for the first time. Lights easy and runs good at low end, did not crank it up as the lining started to steam shortly after lighting. The fan inlet damper is barely open in the badly focused flame picture. Shut the burner down when the steaming started to peek. I checked the internal wall temp after shutdown 329*F. I will let cool and fire it a couple more times today going a little higher on the temp. each time. Cheers CB |
