Time and time again I had been told to clean my chaff collector... and I did!  I swear!  I even used detergents, brushes, etc!
Time and again they said - Take Apart the Two Screens!!!  And I did NOT - because I could see just fine through all the holes in the screen so clearly they were not clogged...
Well, I was wrong... I took apart the two screens and they were clogged - All to hell....  No wonder it has never worked right since I got the new heater... No wonder the last one died...
Note to self - YOU HAVE TO TAKE APART THE TWO SCREENS.....
Now I just wish I hadn't just roasted 3 lbs of coffee... I have to wait 2 weeks to try it out again!!!
Sorry to one and all... I guess I'm stubborn...

It's not all bad.  Behind every great medieval cathedral was at least
one generation of stubborn men who kept everyone else following the
original design instead of "improving" on it.  :-)

Aw, shoot, Ken, roast a batch for your neighbor or your boss. Maybe both.
