Aside from the mystery steam around the smokestack (i'll deal with that in the spring) things have been going pretty well until last evening... I was emptying the ashes and hit something hard and heavy on the floor of the stove. It was a shaker grate that broke in half!!!! Now large pieces of coals are falling down and blocking me from removing ashes towards the back and I can only imagine it's bad for the bottom and other grates for this amount of heat to me down there. I'm going to order some replacement grates. Has anyone every changed these out? It's not the best time to shut this thing down for maintenance...
