Title: About those bugs...
Post by: fasteddieb on August 24, 2016, 03:43:07 PM
You guys may recall I had the refrigerator on our 21BHS fail to run on propane due to wasps sealing off the igniter tube.

In that thread, Merlin recommended these screens:

I ordered some and installed them yesterday:

Simple enough in concept that one could easily make them oneself, but at $16 probably worthwhile to just get the custom fit.

I had also found wasp nests in my water heater compartment, so I went ahead and took care of that as well:

That mesh on the right is just held on with construction adhesive. The existing screen on the left might allow smaller bugs in, but we'll have to see.

Finally, I only just now noticed there was another louvered panel above the one for the refrigerator - Something with the A/C? Probably not a bad idea to do that one as well

Screens to be ordered for those louvres as well.
