leslie tall is right 100 percent....les i sent you a P M hope you got it.

leslie218 rona is 100percent right.at the risk of being bold.I would back out of that one.you can do yourself better than that.listen to the folks on this site they have a true intrest in helping you get what will do you right in the long run .sorry for boldness, we all just want to help knowing that this is new to you....

leslie218 welcome to the pellet/corn burners site.everybody will have a opinion on stoves. however it needs to be abele to handel just about anything you throw at it. which means multi-fuel. i personaly am on my sixth year with a magum countryside 3500l multi-fuel stove.it has taken very good care of me.www.magumheat.com I would say would be a good place to start to get some imformation for yourself. keep us all posted.....

i was wandering if anybody has bought and used aes cleanout kit/system that utilizes a aircompresser.i think they sell for about 190 bucks. i was wandering how well it worked. and how often you use it...

I have to agree with olf20,if 10.00 bucks is all it would of taken to have the problem not be an issue. then I dont think AES was customer focused in this area. I would call it adding value to the product, after all if your were going to purches a corn/pellet stove would 10.00 bucks make or brake your discision to purchase it, considering it cost 2700.00 bucks in the first place. I dont think so. I on my second latch and it to failed to...

www.magnumheat.com there I cut through the chase, just the facts..

B heres a though modify your current one,cut the bottom off and put a new deeper bottom back on. then it would be semi-homemade..

aharvey thats a good question why dont you e-mail technical@magnumheat.com they are fairly good at responding. I dont think there will be an issue with a cast iron pot cracking.

hay B I e-mailed aes here about three weeks ago and they told me that they now have a castiron stir free for the 3500 they said it was built for longevtiy.they said the cost through a dealer was 112.00 bucks.

hey B I would definetly try puting your original stir pot back in with wood pellets for expermental purposes and lets see how the stove reacts..I think its going to do one of two things act the same or put us on the road to recovery.and hopefully point us in the right direction.

has anyone out there burned wheat in a 3500 and if so how well did it work.. and did you use the stir pot or the stir free pot. thanks I appreciate the info..

B if you still have your original stir pot put that in service with wood pellets and see how that operates.it may aid in finding the problem area.

I enjoyed the videos..I to was raised a farm boy.whats the test weights runing out there this year.BTW welcome aboard !!!

rtp educate me,what is the leaf blower method that you were talking about.

hey jdmcniff does`nt sound like the dealers are very hungry...having a spare on the shelf sounds like somthing I would do,it only makes sense.how`s the corn doing for heat out put in that neck of the woods this year.

olf20 I might be intrested in your upgrade can you give me a price.

rona is correct about the fly ash on the side of the house.this is tipical of burning corn in the 3500 with the factory burn pot and stir however burning wood pellets in it for one winter with the stir system showed me that fly ash issue was gone.or burning corn with the tri stage stir free burn pot.thats one of the reasons I chose a countryside,it has a wide range of fuel options.just a tid bit of claraficationfor for ya,other wise my next choice would have been st croix or harmin...one note the fly ash came off with a garden hose and nosel on a warm febuary day.
