Hello everyone, I am new to posting on the site however not new to viewing the Forums.
My problem is the stove sometimes gets very hot to where you can smell it. The Room blower (which always have on 9) will then shut down. Stove will continue to run and build up heat. The stove will let out a popping D-o-n-g sound. The first time it did it, I thought it might be normal. So I let it run it's course a bit and figured it was just too hot and shut it off. After fire being out a while and it cooling down, the room fan kicked on for a couple minutes then after the room fan shut off the stove would spill out pellets and probably would have dispense the whole hopper had I not unplugged the machine. This routine has happened to me 3 times. First time I was not aware of the ash doors on the back wall to the left and right and that they needed cleaned out. So I gave the stove a thorough cleaning and it worked fine. Second time it happened, I was confused because I had been keeping the stove well cleaned. Turned out a lot of ash built up in the Clean out T (clean out T is the only 90), so I cleaned that out and also the exhaust pipe with a fancy brush that came with one of my vacuums. After letting it cool whilei started it back up and it worked fine. Well i didn't need the stove for a while so it stayed off, we've only been using it as needed on those freakishly odd cold nights. Well just recently i went out and bought the only brand i have really liked in the thing (tried Lignectics first, Pennington's Nature's heat, and Allegany's) which is Lignetics. Put 3 bags in the hopper, it burnt all day and through the night, next morning i shut it off due to it not being needed. later that day after the sun started going down i turn it back on, and it ran all night and through the next day. We left about 7:00pm and came home about 11:00pm to find it overheating again, I shut it down, It popped with a D-O-N-G, cooled down, Room fan came on and started dumping pellets. I unplugged, Vacuumed out the 1 1/2 inches of ash out if the bottom, Vacuumed out 1 inch of ash behind the ash doors to the left and right. Things just didn't add up It had only been burning 48 hrs worth and definately not enough Ash to be a problem. I thought it was the clean out T. There was only about an 1/8th of an inch in there.
So my question is, has anyone else had a problem like this? What remedied the issue? Is it a bad room fan?
The stove is still practically brand new, it's only burned about 600 lbs worth of pellets.
