Learned a lesson today, uh huh. Went out and did chores before heading of to work at 5:30 this morning. Noticed the ash needed cleaning out so I did a hurry up job. Loaded her up and headed out.
The wife calls at about 10:30 and asked if I knew I left the lower blower/ash door open. Nope, I says, just close it. She says she did but it looks like water had blown out the vent pipe and the temp gauge says 240! :jawdrop:
Well, she shut the blowers down, ran all the hot water she could and cranked the heat up to draw the temp down as best she could. By the time I got home half the water was gone. I don't see any damage but I'll keep watching.
Can something like that cause any serious problems or am I worrying about nothing? If nothing else it did a nice job of burning off the creosote.
