Harry,
If I was able to make that difficult wrapper piece for my American, then you
should have no problems since you work in sheet metal all the time. Of
course, I have my handy dandy Audel's "Sheet Metal Workers Handybook" to get
me through any problem areas.
Busy, yeah I been busy trying to heat my skidder/loader boiler with my newly
made propane burner. Took off the stack and found a generous supply of
creosote from when I tried to burn wood in the thing. Wire shotgun cleaning
brush in an electric drill got the thickest part of it, but hardly did
anything to a thin layer that remained. Finally wrapped coarse emery cloth
around a split steel rod and ran that through the flues (12 of them) many
times, changing cloth frequently and now have a fairly clean looking set of
flues. Got nearly 1/2 cup of nasty black dust out of those eight 1/2" dia
flues and there was more in the firebox. No wonder the burner did not heat
well.
