Hey all... All of the sudden, having nothing but problems with my p-stove...
Been on the phone 4x today with Englands - what they say about their customer service is right on the money - they go the extra mile to help a brother out. If I could give Mike a beer through the phone line, he'd be drinking a cold one courtesy of me right now.
Anyway, my new problem is that my pellets wouldn't ignite through the auto-igniter, they smoldered, but wouldn't light. I lit my fire w/ a little bit of that fire starting gel, and, granted, there was a big pile of pellets in there from running it through on start up a couple of times, but it was really smoky! And the exhaust coming out the chimney was black... usually, all I can see is "heat" (no color to the exhaust). I'm going to run it a while, and see how it goes.
Nothing on my venting has changed since yesterday, same pellet stove... albeit we've found some issues with vacuum switches (but that wouldn't effect this problem, I don't think)... Only thing different is the bag of pellets.
The other thing I though of was maybe the combustion blower isn't strong enough, like it's going bad?
Anyone have any ideas? I'm going to give Mike and his crew a call in the morning... I'm sure he's looking forward to hearing from me![Smile :) :)](/talk/styles/default/xenforo/smileys/grin.gif)
Thank's y'all...
P.S. I'm NOT bashing England's in any of my posts! Just want to make sure everyone understands that...
