How to burn wood pellets in 2006 Auburn corn burner

[Rxwoman1961]

Ok. Plastic flower pot and a broken brick.
Like my wiring job? Lol. Ok, firing her up again.

Just keep them from melting on the pipe.

Maybe close the damper by a 1/3

Here to here?
They really had that screw down in there.
What do I want my flame to look like?
Btw, the panel is behaving SO much better.

I cant get a clear picture this time because the glass is too smudged.

 

[Ssyko]

You dont want pellets flying out of the pot but just kinda dance till they are almost burnt up

That’s looking pretty good so far. 15-20 min into the run mode is where you want to fine tune the damper. Take the screw out half way its in to far to start with

Got it.

 

[Rxwoman1961]

Too much damper? Its still burning pretty good.

 

[Rxwoman1961]

I'm still getting sparks, but now my glass is starting to smoke up a bit in the corners.

 

[Rxwoman1961]

I can't believe its still burning and I havent had to use my blow dryer!!

 

[Ssyko]

Open it just a tad and let it burn and make noise lol. My meds are kicking in, cant keep the old eyes open. So don’t leave it unattended and unplug everything when you shut it down for the night. Post some pics during the run so we can keep track.

Will do. Have a good night!
Thank you.

I was hoping this worked , i did have some thoughts that we were chasing our tails like rick said, but now with some supervised hot burns maybe this stove won’t be in the scrap pile awaiting a new life as a bumper on a truck.

Rx before you fire it up again give the glass a wipe down so we can get a good visual of the fire.

Ive been following! RX is a trooper Progress is being made. I would say to start it with the damper closed a little then open it as the feed level steps up. There is a approx. 5 min delay between steps. So if it is on 1 and you want it on 4, it will take approx. 20 min. to step up to 4. That is built in for corn burning. Corn does not like sudden change. Basically as much air as it will take and still keep up with feed. Ssyko, you probably already know that, but trying to throw so info out there in case it may help.

did not know that the ramp up timing was different, mental note taken. for the next corn stove i work on lol

I have a heater! I have a heater!

You read my mind. Cleaned everything this morning.
Started it up and had one little hickup. I opened the damper a bit and it nearly blew the fire out!
Then the stove didnt seem to see the fire so it shut off again. I just turned it back on.
Now it fires right up. No blow dryer needed. The room fan came on within 10 minutes (used to take 30).

 

[Rxwoman1961]

Whew! I turned off all the space heaters and took off my sweater.
To be fair it's warm outside today. Supposed to be 50. But it is nice not to be shivering for a change.

 

[Ssyko]

What heat setting do you have it on now?

 

[Washed-Up]

Nothing a few pounds of creosote removal can’t fix hey?!
Congrats Happy to see it’s working properly

 

[Ssyko]

Your gonna be opening windows and doors when this gets rippin lol
