I have my stove in manual mode and it was working when I left this morning and it was burning in maintenance mode.
When I got home the fire was out with six blinks.
I took the opurtunity and decided to do a cleaning.
I knew something was wrong when the feeder was moving when I touched it when I was scrapping the burnpot.
Finished cleaning it and opened the back and to my surprise the chain had jumped out of the sprocket.
I am wondering if the stove is falling victim to the gum disease?
The feeder works fine when I spun it and I didnt feel any resistance.
I have had clunks before and they would go away when I lubed the chain... but I used graphite lube and I think it dries too quick.
This time I used green lube used in bearings and stuff.
I've been keeping an eye on the stove and so far no clunking or slowdowns but I am worried.
