Title: I'm looking for a First Start Up Tutorial
Post by: kagliostro on January 03, 2013, 12:18:20 pm

Three or four years ago I've find a nice Tutorial about the First Start Up of an amp

now I would like to give it to a guy in an italian forum who asked for one, but I didn't find it anymore

Please, someone has a good tutorial for this procedure ?

Many Thanks

K

Throw in some wood chips, drop a match, start the blower, be ready to run.

Oh, nevermind. I've been starting-up a wood burner I found in a garage.

But I think it is the same idea.

If it's gonna burn-up, go ahead and let it burn (some place safe).

It may not want to start at all. (I had to break small wood to get enough fire to get the wood pellets burning.) (I was warned not to use gasoline.... it runs through the fire-pot, waits in the bottom, and goes FWOOOM!! when you think all is well.)
