Wireless Fired Fireworks
You've likely seen numerous fireworks videos, often posted the day after Independence Day. However, I'm excited to share mine due to a touch of geekiness: I'm employing wireless, remote ignition! I've abandoned the old 'light and run' method. Now, I can truly enjoy watching my own fireworks display! It's also quite cool to launch them from a distance.

This works for any pellet stove that has a touchy external temperature sensor that jumps around a lot. This happens to be a Grand Teton Teewinot pellet stove. Very similar to many other brands out there that use the same basic stove just rebranded. In this video I use a piece of copper 1/4 inch tube but I guess you could use a stainless or aluminum metal straw, those are pretty easy to come by.

I thought these little adjustable gang (outlet, switch) boxes were pretty neat. I'm installing this one behind a pellet stove I'm adding in my home, though a stone back is not required I'm not sure if I want to tile this wall or not, so I used these outlet boxes in case I add tiles at a later time.

    I’m looking to replicate this. I dug into the wiring to the white led lights you can turn off/on and see the wiring is putting out 12.9-13volts, but the gauge of wire is so small I’m sure it would burn up with the sprayer motor. Mind sharing what you tapped into to power your sprayer? Also, that connector/plug is cool! Where did you find that? Thank you!

    @EricK-vz5ww Před 4 měsíci

    Very nice walkthrough - Thank you! For me, the whole appeal of using the MyxFitness monitor is the touchscreen. As you said, perhaps a raspberry pi would do the trick, but without touchscreen functionality it doesn't seem worth the effort for me to do the conversion. I am thinking about just buying a small smart TV and mounting it on the bike's existing 100x100 VESA mount. One step, and the problem is solved. It's also easy to reverse if I want to ever sell the bike. Alternatively, for those on a tight budget, the MyxFitness screen could be sold on eBay to pay for the Smart TV that replaces it. It may be possible to find an Android-based smart TV that also supports ANT+ natively. Then sensors like heartrate, cadence, speed, etc. could be paired with it and used with sideloaded fitness apps. But, barring that, casting from a phone or tablet to the smart TV is a dead simple alternative. It would be cool to be able to run stuff like Zwift on my myx bike, lol. Thank you again for taking the time to share your conversion with us. It opens up a lot of avenues for exploration. Personally, I don't really want to ruin the existing monitor if I don't have to, and will probably just grab a cheap smart TV for my bike.

      In the settings set it to eco2 that won’t shut off it will just go to its lowest feed rate, then ramp back up as the room starts to cool. You have to shut down the stove to change that setting then relight while in eco2.

    • @diaryofageek

      you need to set it to ECO1 that is the setting that turns on/off the stove, ECO2 only ramps it down to a low flame, then back up when you go below your setpoint. When changing from ECO1 to ECO2 you have to stop the stove, then start it back up for the setting to take effect.

      Look on the status screen for “air gap” it should be 1 once the exhaust fan kicks on. 0 if you open the front door while the fan is on. That one can be many causes. Bad door seal, plugged up exhaust or behind the 3 panels inside the fire chamber, outside exhaust plugged, air intake plugged, fan or vac switch bad.

    From personal experience I purchased the stove October 19th of 2023. I started it about 3 weeks ago and it seemed to be doing really good. I noticed that i was getting electric shock everytime I wanted to clean it even when I had it unplugged. Now, this is the bad news about this Grand Teton stove: Sunday morning about 3:00 am we woke up because the cold temperatures creeped in the bed with us, I checked the Stove App on my phone and nothing seemed wrong and then we noticed a really strong smell in the house. We got up and the stove was not working the control screen was completely off and will not turn back on.. the Stove was totally dead. I investigated the problem and it turned out the fuse in power switch was getting blown everytime I put a new one in... Ok, here comes the fun part: I had to wait until today Monday the 18th of December because their customer service dont work or answer their phones on Sunday. After about one hour or so waiting for someone to answer the phone a lady come on and from the get go after I explaind to her what happened she answers by saying so what do you want me to do? I told her I needed the stove to run as soon as possible because my house is freezing and more cold temperature is on the way and that I am almost 60 years old diabetics and just had an open heart surgery so please what ever it takes to get my stove going will be very much appreciated. She put me on hold and came back saying that she will send me a power cord, a mother board and combustion chamber and that I had to find someone to take the old ones out and to install the new ones in.. I asked her for a confirmation email or anything to refrence this call or a tracknig number, she declined to provide any information what so ever and she was threatening me of canceling the order and to take it with the Tractors Supply store which she has nothing to do with.. Anyway the Customer support is really really bad and really made me regrets buying this pellet stove.. I will never recommend this stove to any one because of their customer service.. things break down but customer service can make a bad experience less painful but not with this Company Stay a way from this stove...

    • @diaryofageek
      @diaryofageek Před 7 měsíci

      That’s under user settings. Set it to eco1. But it will only “stick” if you make that change while it’s off or shut it down then restart it. You can’t start it in eco2 and switch to eco1 while it’s running/burning. Eco1 will shut itself off and look like it’s powered off after it gets to your desired temp. Then about 5 degrees of drop it will fire back up. Eco2 will only switch to a lower flame once temp is reached then back up to whatever P setting you had it on before it dropped to P4.

    Watching from France and new owner of a pellet insert. Inserts are a bit more tricky to feed and clean as everything is squashed in the chimney breast, still getting to grips with cleaning. Mine seems to produce of a lot of ash so daily clean is a necessity, the back plate is fairly awkard to remove so for now doing it monthly unless the insert starts having lots of misfiring. Thank you for all the explanations which I found very useful.

    Hi. We're thinking to buy the pellet stove like your video. I wonder if this is a good stove and good heat. We currently have no heat in the house and we're living in the cold areas. Thanks

      I like the stove. But if you never had wood or pellet stoves it takes some learning or you will have a hard time. But I heat my whole home with only this stove. 2,800 square foot home.

      @diaryofageek thanks for reply. I have a fireplace in the house. Still using it it doesn't heat good. As seen on your video the control seem to be little confuse. I might think to go with the simple one.

      @@vuleadventsite yes. I’m a big geek so I liked the screen and WiFi. But many people prefer just the knob control. 🤓

    I just bought a Grand Teton after having a Harmon for 20 years. Man, I miss that Harmon….

    Nice video, especially covering the "Settings". Quick question, just started mine for first time, following instructions to burn off the oils and cure the paint (smelled bad w/smoke). I noticed the paint flaking off on the metal plate in the middle above the burn pot where the pellets drop from. Hopefully the stove performs good, not sure of quality with the paint flaking off this plate, apparently the metal is not prepped correctly for the retention of the supposedly heat resistant paint? I would post a picture but don't appear to have the ability.

      That isn’t normal. I have heard of one other case of this in the same area. They said it peeled front and back of that panel. But had no other issues.

    Thank you for another great & very informative video. Just curious, what ash vacuum did you use before this new battery operated vac ? I'm thinking of getting the Cleveland Iron Works ash vac sold @ Tractor Supply because I can get it for free with my T.S. reward points but I haven't seen any reviews on it.

      I’m not sure, I think it was something Menards sold. It had a black metal can. It worked fine, but it was super loud. My doggo’s didn’t like it. 😂

    Thank you so much for a great video, AND you have great timing too; I'm installing a Grand Teton Gros Ventre pellet stove today.
