Sorry in advance for the long post, and for the bombardment of information.
I have an England 25-epi. and I have been burning for a month or so now. I am noticing a couple of issues and I am not sure where to look , or if I am doing something wrong. Any help would be appreciated....
This is a pellet insert, and has the outside air kid down the ash clean out hole, about 5-6 feet long. and the stove exhaust pipe is 25' up the chimney, and is 4 inches.
1. When I first turn it on, it looks like the pictures attached. then after about 24 hours, it looks like the other picture.

I took a quick video to show what the flame looks like, I think the flame is OK, but I am new to this.***Videos are in mkv format, and mp4

2. Also after a day or two of burning, my burn pot is clogged up. when I dump it out, it has clumps in it.
