OK, can anyone make sense of this observation please:
My stove has 5 auger settings and I have the option of adjust the auger speed to some degree (I am not quite sure if that is just for the setting of one or a sliding adjust for all auger speeds) - anyway, here is my issue.
Some pellets will not allow me to use the 1 setting, because after some hours (say 3-4) the stove just turns off. It looks like the fire just turns off, but I am at a loss why that happens. When I get to the stove in the morning there is some ash/residue in there, some half burnt pellets but thats it - no excessive number of fresh pellets indicating the auger just quenched the fire with too many pellets or so. Its like the thermodisc shuts it down because the heatoutput is not enough. and it thinks there is an issue ?
At first I thought its the hopper getting empty and maybe not enough pellets going into the pot - but the hopper is still more than half full. It happens most with mediocre pellets such as instant heat, but also had it with currans now
In comparison, the Barefoots I like so much burn just fine on a 1 for days (literally). Not only that, if I use them at setting 5 my room gets seriously hot (cant use nr 5 for too long though). SO according to that observation some pellets actually have a better range of use than others, not just more heat output ? Is there a minimal consumption of pellets for lower quality ones, how does that make sense ? I tried tinkering with the air flow (since I know the Barefoots are pretty dense and can take a lot of air to burn white hot) - but that did not really help any. I have this effect on low, medium and high air.
Anyone some suggestions, I have a brainfreeze on this one. Thx
