Hello! It has been a while since I have posted.
This
RMH has been running successfully for years and one of my proudest achievements. :)
I believe this is my 4rth year running it. I have not fired it up yet in 2023 due to a warmer fall here in the PNW. She will get fired up later this week.
There have been cracks developing over the years. I have attempted to fill/patch them, but without much luck. I knew that the
cob up around the barrel was destined to crack, yet the cracks running down the front were a surprise. There is one on each side. There is also a crack on the back side.
Anything to worry about?
Also in cleaning out the system this year, I noticed that the ducting pipe exiting the manifold is degrading and has holes. Is this a concern?
Thank you!
Staci
