Check out THIS burnpot from a P61a!

How about packing the ignitor pot with Magnesium? The standard ignitor takes too long and as an accelerant, placed magnesium into the chamber. This causes significant heat increase lighting the pellets instantly, but the down side is eroding the burn pots in a much shorter time period.

You guys are all pretty scary, coming up with things like gasoline, c-4, magnesium, added to the fire! Zeta is close....neglect. The damage seems rusty, but its not really rust, its overfired metal (big surprise there). The ignitor is shot, so it cant be tested, but the wires are intact. The stove is a mess. Ash everywhere......here's my take on it....stove gets dirty, far too dirty to clean, so its let go ("ugh....im not touching THAT!"). Eventually, the ESP probe gets bathed in ash, giving lower readings that it should, stove tries to compensate by overfeeding pellets.....pellets fall into pan and burn under the burnpot, there the front of the burnpot acts as the flame guide....and not very well. The PF100 issues where the brunpot is shot from overfiring generally results in a hole ON TOP of the burn pot.

Nice to hear that it wasn`t stove malfunction . I mean you could have shown us a house burnt to the ground and it would be a result of owner neglect.
Surely this was going on all while the user was repeatedly reloading the hopper. Not only neglect but a measure of stupidity too.

well, Gio, the stove was burning when we went there to check it out. Wouldja believe they asked "do you think we should be burning it.....?"

i have seen salt do the same sort of thing what kind of pellets?

 

[MCPO]

Jesus! If salt can burn this hot then why not burn it instead of pellets. ?

 

[stoveguy13]

the salt has chemical reaction that eats away at the metal i have seen in wood stoves as well drift wood or any wood grown near the ocean or in a salt marsh it ate a ss liner and the tha inside of the stove
