**I posted this under Athens Pellet Reviews also**
I may have found something which could help Athens pellet burners.
After reading a few articles online, I came to the conclusion that
my problem (High Ash) may be due to incomplete burning.
Some of the ash I have had to deal with had what looked like
a caramel glaze on the top. There were also clumps of ash.
Yesterday I increased the speed of the combustion fan. (Hotter Fire in burn pot and more lift for Fly Ash??)
I turned the adjustment screw maybe 1/8 of a turn clockwise.
Unless the pellet composition has changed in the last week (Highly Unlikely),
the burning does look better and more complete.
There is a bit more ash left behind as compared to LG pellets but the
color is now light gray as compared to the very dark gray color before.
The ash is now only about the height of a pellet as compared to almost 1 in.
I need some longer burn times to verify that it is in fact burning better.
30's tonight!!
