I had the same problem in my stove ( 25-pah) after burning these. My normal cleaning procedure didnt work. I had to take a rubber mallet to the stove to loosen all the built up ash in the clean outs. I usually got away with just tapping the back wall to loosen the ash but with the excessive ash build up i had to go extreme. Once I used the mallet all the excess ash i didnt get the day before fell down and i once again i had a clean running stove. Good luck phil

It somehow gummed up my stove. I don't think I'll be buying the AMF's ever again. I have to pull out the cleaning rod at least twice a day.

I agree. I burned these two years ago and they plugged my stove up good! Never will I burn these again.

I might have to try the rubber mallet idea. I'll never buy AWF's ever again.

I just bought these after running low, and I remembered last year I bought 10 bags and experienced the same issue, blackish wet residue inside my stove. Not happy about it. I just bought 25 more bags and have been mixing them with prestologs that I have left.

I dont get why they are burning crappy. The heat is also down, but ash is way down too.. how do I make adjustments to make these work? I will return them if I can't fix it.

I've heard great things about them, but my harman xxv ain't liking them. Also live in so md.

Thanks for your help.

The best adjustment is right in the trash for those

Different stoves must have vastly different results with these pellets. I just did a 2 week cleanout in my stove and had maybe 4 cups of ash out of at least 20 bags of pellets, yes its been that cold here. all the ash was light and fluffy and scooped/vacuumed right out. Pulled the lower cast waal and brushed and vacuumed that out also no sticky residue. My only complaint is I am down to my last 6 bags and its going to be pretty darn cold the rest of the week.

My Harman accentra loves these pellets. Now I am burning the Ultra White pine ones in the black and white bag.

That is exactly what I'm burning to. I will keep mixing them until i run out of pellets.

I get mixed results with them, they are hot, but at low settings on my Lopi AGP I do get a black soot buildup on the back and top walls and on the parts of the glass that normally get the grey build up , when I crank the stove past 1/2 the soot all gets burned off, consequently I have been using them instead of my stash of hardwood pellets on the recent sub zero degree days when I need to run the stove on higher settings
