OK - having a weird problem with my Harvester. It will no longer burn corn. We're in the middle of a bad wind storm (central Iowa), but I have my combustion air run outside, so that hasn't been a problem for a couple years. I've been burning this corn for about a month with no problems, so I don't think that's an issue. Burned good up until the wind came up. What happens is the flame gets smaller and smaller and then goes out. I've tried more air, less air, different heat settings (would really like 5!), and nothing works. Have also cleaned out the chimney (3' horizontal) - nothing helps. Had burned on level 5 for about 2 weeks straight up to this point. Any ideas?

I have an older Harvester with no bronze bushing. After many winters of use, both my shaft and factory steel bushing are shot. Has any body had to re-bush their stove before? I believe I will have to cut a hole through the side to be able to get at it. Any info would be great. Thanks,
