Cleaning the creosote
wasn't the solution. The water had reached a temperature over 200 degrees
and by early morning it was down to 124. I guess I better try adjusting
the door today. I picked up a real - normal sized crescent wrench from my
dad's shop.
It was an easy job -
loosen the nut, tap the bolt towards the stove and retighten the nut. I added
wood to the fire and waited. The temperature seemed to stay the
same. Maybe this has done the trick.
I left for a few hours,
but came back and the stove was over 200 degrees again. What's the deal
here? In the dark, I readjusted the door making it even tighter.
Now I will have to wait until morning to see if the tighter door solves my
issue.
Easy, right? But
that wasn't all...Today I noticed that my monitor for the wind and battery
percentage was out - the screen had gone blank. This usually happens
every time I run the generator to recharge the batteries. But I haven't
ran the generator for a few days and it was working fine this morning.
So, I did what I always do, unplug it, wait a few seconds, replug it
and...Nothing. I checked the wires, they were all attached... I guess
this one is beyond me.
There must be some
device that will tell me what my wind turbine is producing and my battery
percentage. Voltage readings do little for me.
