mark poulson Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 (edited) To all of those who participated before the deadline, I have contacted you and your jigs will be sent out tomorrow. Thanks and Enjoy My fishing partner says we need to remove all safety labels, and clean out the gene pool! On a more serious note, couldn't you use stacked metal washers to space the top of the pot chamber up, to let air pass out? That would seem to me to be an easy fix that wouldn't void the warranty, since you can remove the washers before you send the unit in for warranty work.

cadman Posted December 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 My fishing partner says we need to remove all safety labels, and clean out the gene pool! I'll definitely agree to that. Too many people don't use their heads and when something happens they go to a lawyer...........Soooooooo sad.

Mark I took a look at what you said above, and by george yes it will definitely work. I unscrewed the nameplate and the thermostat knob comes off with the nameplate. The t-stat is then connected by two wires, which gives you ample room to move the nameplate up with some washers. Great idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great idea. I guess that proves the old saying, "Even a blind pig....." You know the rest. Glad I could help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stacked 3 #8 washers under the plate on each screw yesterday, and it gives me about 3/16" clearance for air circulation. I poured some jigs, and instead of having to crank the heat all the way up to 10... I was able to pour at 8.5 with the desired results. Thanks for the idea Mark!

mark poulson Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 I just hope the lead pot manuf. isn't here in CA, or I'll probably get sued! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
