Can someone post a pic of the wear plate ash amount in their 25-PDVC after burning a hopper load or so, so I have an idea what they are getting and have some comparison for my stove?
if the ash dont burn its ash which will be in the stove or downstream in the blower or in the pipe. different "chimney" configurations will have an effect also as will wind, direction, humidity, etc. personally, i prefer ash in the stove where its easier to cleanrehabbingisgreen said:Reasonable thing to do but I still would like to see what the average person should expect out of their stove so I know what I am going for here. I'm doing a cleaning as soon as I get appropriate gaskets and I have tried a couple of different brands of pellets now with better luck with one in particular, the somersets but those are far and I have to wait to make another trip to get more of those. Still hoping to see the results in someones stove so I know what it should look like when I get a better clean up job and better pellets. It's sort of hard to start out with a first pellet stove being used and know a baseline of what's what.

Keep checking the other Lowes in and around your area, and get the Somersets if you possibly can....they are a very good pellet and would be worth driving a little farther to get them over the other 2 brands you mentioned. When the real cold of the winter sets in, you'll be glad you did.
