BGE update

Since Fred could not wait to get his hands on my BGE now that's it's cooled off, ( is it just me or does that somehow sound dirty?) I let him see if he could find out what the temperature problem was last night.  Diagnosis:  several plugged up air exchange holes in the firebox and side, which mean not enough oxygen to the fire.  Hence, low heat.  As I went outside to take him some iced tea, he gave me the full report.  He's very proud of himself and said he'd "bill me later".  Yeah, right.
