Hey everyone I have a few questions for you. I picked up a 2006 Harman accentra insert and have yet to perfect the heating output. Ok this is a 42,000 btu stove and I am trying to heat about 1600 square ft(main level) open floor plan, 9 ft ceilings new construction with 6 inch insulation. The stove I purchased I installed and immediately had no auger so I started cleaning. I got to the back of the stove and took the wing nuts off the exhaust flue and saw that there was about 6 inches of soot encasing the esp. So I cleaned it all out and wiped down the probe(gently) and put it all back together. Now for the test ..... whala I had auger power and the auto start lit right up. So I start messing with controls and I find that the air being blown out into the room is the same strength on high or low (stove sensing) so I took the unit back out and propped it up and guess what? The fan was completely encased in what looked to be like my puppy rotweiller. So I pulled the fan out and started cleaning it and man was it nasty! So now I plug it back in and the fan blows much harder but once it hits about half way between low and high it doesn't blow any harder is this normal? Also I have my stove on high feed setting, temp all the way up, and blower on high with auto start and my house is only about 68 degrees on the main level and not even hot right next to the stove. Is there anything else I could be missing? I did notice that the exhaust flue has a insulation type gasket where the esp is and it was ripped would that do anything? I took off the burn pot plates and scraped everything inside the stove clean. My flame is pretty big going up into what looks like where the fan blows out but the heat is just not that hot. I am using garbage super high ash home depot americanpellets wood fibersto pellets because its all that was readily available to get this up and running. I am ordering a ton of oakies tomorrow but will they make that much of a difference? I have a brand new 30ft stainless 4in exhaust pipe installed and it is clean. I think that's about all I can think of right now so let me know what you guys think.
Thanks so mu h in advance for your time I really appreciate it.
