Usually the oak helps for a cleaner burn,and at my house oak means no drafts being pulled from elsewhere

Matt F said:Matt F said:Thanks Don. I was thinking of wrapping my OAK flex pipe around my exhaust pipe as a sort of pre heater before the air enters the burn pot. just not sure how or if it'll work. I like your re the metal trash can; just not sure it would stay warm enough for the long haul. If this doesn't work I'm going to try bringing a few bags in and set them next to the stove for a couple of days to see if that makes any difference. I'm really intrigued to see if the cold air (below 30 deg) has an affect on the way pellets burn. We shall see!
Ok, been burning well over 24 hours now with the OAK disconnected and Hamer pellets from the same pallet. Last night I had the stove set on feed 3 and fan on 4. Everything looked great this morning when I got up and left for work. We turned the stove down for the day on setting 2 feed 3 fan. About 5:30 tonight we cranked the stove back up feed 3 fan 5. NO CLINKERS. I'm starting to think that very cold air has a some affect on how pellets burn, especially now after disconnecting the OAK.

I know it is not the peoples fault, maybe they are and or were a good pellet for you but not for me, i pray i don't get stuck with these ,we are not talking pocket change here i would be out a lot of money! not a good thing right now.

I wonder if the OAK on the Englander was preheated if it would make a diff?

Even low density pellets can produce heavy dense ash, and it is the ash that has to be sent out of the pot to prevent clinkers. Light ash is the ticket with the puffers. I have one of those puppies and no damper.
