Well The 600 is going strong. It took me over a year and much more money than I expected but this girl is sweet. Got her going Friday morning. Easy start and a bit of air bleeding from lines and she's been chugging along. House and shop with one fire, that was my goal. I sure wanna thank all of you that answered my questions along the way and the fella at Mark's Supply( walking dictionary) for all the help. I have no one even close here to go to so you all were needed. The day's of cutting, splitting and lugging firewood are over for this guy. Hell, I haven't gone outside for 3 days except to peek on in my new girl. lol Now to build a indoor coal bin. Thanks Again

Glad to hear! How did your bin pipe turn out? Did you end up going with stainless like I mentioned? I to wonder if you have any pictures to share?

Yep, I bought a S.S pipe, $$$ WOW but I believe it was great idea. Called Marks Supply and he said cut straight off and have auger sticking out 6 inches. Been working great so far. Going on two weeks. Im not real good at tech stuff. I'll need to figure out posting pics.

Is a big investment up front but worth in because it will not rust out in a few years like regular black pipe. Adding photos is not to difficult. Im sure there is a thread on here that explains the process but in short all you would need to do isRON1958 wrote: ↑Thu.
