There will be no 2 up on the Grom. But I have access to one for Steve. Would be a cheap trip maybe $15 in gas and a food stop along the way.
It would be warmer if I opened the draft to the high or insane setting lol
If I had a woodstove it would be a lot warmer but the wife won't give up the square footage in our small house so the furnace is in the unisulated porch ducted into the house.
Not the best setup but it works, it was 80 in that uninsulated porch lol
Pffft oak , I'd have to shovel the ashes out every day , Pffft , too much maintenance , greatly overrated , oak shmoak ......

Yea...I'm learning that hardwood coals up pretty bad. The silver maple I got burns to powder

I so want a grom (or different brand minibike like the Z125). But if I did I would have to put dualsport tires on it so I could roam. I got 200 acres behind my house, and another 200 acres that I shoot on.

*SIGH*....I'll get it fixed. Just not sure if thats gonna happen before the holidays. If I dont load it to the gills it does fine, but the 2 coldest months of the year are very near. I need to not slack on that.A lot to say, but I've said a lot the last couple days, so I'll make it brief.
If you would have had the original owner take care of the claim then they would have been leveraging a repair job out of them, regardless of whether it is the first person or you I believe the company should take ownership of it.
Also as I said, if they won't, or now if you won't, then weld it up

I have learned that when it starts coaling up, leave the air opened up on the intake a bit and it'll burn down.

I think I'm going to get some kind of coal strainer so I can keep the hot coals and dump the ash, but all the random holes in my yard are just about full of ash. What do you guys do with all the ash? Can you make something out of it? Is there a constructive thing to do with ashes?
I actually think that's a really cool/warm lol, setup. You keep all the mess outside.
One day I plan to build a 3 season room/porch off the front of our place, then I will position my wood rack in from to the windows an I will be able to load the rack from the porch. I like that idea because the only mess in the house will be from the rack to the stove. Another benefit is I won't have to come into the house with a load in the wheelbarrow then shed clothes only to put them right back on again.

I do this also. I open the draft all the way and ash it down but when I have 3 inches of powder it wont ash down any more, and when its really cold I dont have 3 hours to wait to reload the stove.
Steve said to let you know he's going to pull his old 185 out as there just ain't enough room on them groms for him and his co-pilot

Take a piece of 1x1 angle about 4" long and screw it to the side of the door, glue a piece of gasket to it done

My wife has me empty the ash can into a 5 gallon bucket for her chickens. They roll around in it and then preen themselves cleaning their feathers. An "ash" bath helps deter mites ,lice, fleas, and ticks.

Not sure about angle but I thought about getting flat piece of thin metal 3(ish)x1(ish) and just sliding it up to the gasket under the door and bolting it to the face of the stoveTake a piece of 1x1 angle about 4" long and screw it to the side of the door, glue a piece of gasket to it done

Maxxis 6024 fit and are around $105 a set. Stock suspension won't take kindly to being treated like a dirt bike. I can bottom mine out hopping curbs and speed bumps. If it stays on the ground it should be OK.
Yup , no mess in the house .
What I have is a Kerr wood furnace that was meant to be added on to an existing hot air furnace so I set in the porch , cut a hole in the wall and piped a 12" duct into the house .
Last year I got a nice high velocity fan to blow the cold air into the furnace , it worked great , I fired it up this fall and it quit two days into the heating season so I went to get another , it's a seasonal item so no stock but I got a refund because it was under warranty .
I had been looking for a compact furnace so I could cannibalize the section that holds the blower and the filter but I scrounged up a next to new electric furnace from a mobile home that gave me a blower , filter and nice compact box
I thot I was set but the high speed on the fan is not high enough but works for now , I'll scrounge a better one yet .
After I get the bugs worked out I'll figure out how to get a thermostat/draft control and blower speeds all forking together .
