Hi everyone. I have been having a problem with my pellet stove this year and that problem is creosote. I have a 6 year old Harman P61A that was professionally installed new. It is cleaned thoroughly at least 8-10 times during a burn season, and scraped as often as possible. I am using the same pellet fuel that I have always used (Eastern Embers) I live in Nova Scotia, but this year I am noticing creosote forming around the back of my burn pot as well as forming on the inside of my vent pipe. (see pics) I set my stove to room temp mode at around 72 Degrees and let it go on its own. The feed rate is still at factory setting (4) along with all other settings.
I guess I am just a little worried because I think of creosote and I think of chimney fires and such. We turn our stove on and let it run all day while we are at work, so now I can't stop thinking about this build up of creosote and wonder if something bad might happen.
Any input is surely appreciated!!
P.S. I just replaced the door gasket in the spring and that has helped keep the glass cleaner longer.
