Welll...... I'm glad I told the local dealer to try to figure it out because I didn't think I would have time. They put on a new carb kit and checked all lines, looked a the piston and rings, pressure check, and then finally put on a different carb. They could not get it to work. So they paid...

If it's free I'll take almost anything. But.. I've gone from loving the great American canned water, I mean beer, to liking the good stuff since I moved to the NW US. Now the American macro-brews taste on my palate as they truly are - grain alcohol and water with some pissy beer taste added...

TreeCo, I'm not as confused as you may think. I realize an outside air source would not make the insert any more efficient. I would reduce the vacuum in my house, thus make my house less leaky, thus more efficient. Maybe my original post didn't make that clear. Here is a quote from the...

I don't provide smoke to my neighborhood 99% of time. Only on startup. I have an air quality guy that works for the state living down the block. I have recently been burning some russian olive wood that is smokey, ashy and has super stinky smoke. It's quite dense though. I have to admit 3...

My next door neighbor bought a pellet stove the same time I bought a wood insert. He was really ribbing me about buying a wood stove last year because he thinks I work too much getting wood. Prior to this year I gathered my own wood. This year I paid 300$ for 3 chords and went and cut...

I have thought about how much more efficient the inside/outside air source issue could be many times. The way the outside air venting (and air leaks) in my house is set up now from the original boiler/hot water heater and leaky window, I get some bad airflow at high burn and am sucking cold air...

I'm in MT and like 2Tall, we get what we can find in this area. I usually go with lodgepole and doug fir. You can tell when you get the pieces from the bottom of the dead standing trees because they are 3x heavier than the top due to all the pitch draining to the bottom and drying. I might...

Thanks everyone. Thanks for the advice. I took it to the local dealer and they tested the pressure. It was good. They gave it a quick look and said it's probalby the carb/gas filter/gas line since everything else they scanned didn't seem problematic. I'm impressed with the dealer. They...

Lopi Freedom Insert I bought a Lopi Freedom Insert and it heats our 2 level 2000ft 1970s built house well on 4-5 chords of pine/fir. It's 3 years old. A few small complaints about it are paint on door is peeling and the reburn bars keep losing cotter pins. But overall, it's great. The heat...

Another related quesiton... What do the letters on the end of these Stihl models mean? I see some folks say they have an AV and others (like me) an AVT. Are there different model letters that mean something? Or do folks just leave out a letter? Some just say they have a 011 with no...

Insert I put in an insert into our split entry 2200 sqft house in the basement. The thing heats our whole house. I have to make sure the blowers stay clean to move air upstairs but it is nice. We had the 1970s bult in blower vents (heatalators??) in the fireplace. I was told theyare 10%...

Stihl 011 avt white case - help How old are the white case 011's I got one for 25$ and it was running at the time. I would have to feather it to get it up to higher RPMs. Then put my own gas in it that I use for my MS290...and it quit running. I downloaded the manual for the 011 and it said...
