I am loosing heat out my pipe. I close the damper just a little, gain a few degrees but then the pellets start to pile up and the flame is weak which leads to lower heat. So what do you think is going wrong here.

Have you measured the vent heat?

Yes... It is currently 165 degrees
I leaf blowd ( is that a word) today. I am currently running on high with the damper pretty much shut all the way. Pellets are not building up, been running like that for about 9 hours. The build up will happen overnight, or when I am not home. Usually when it happens. I am getting 210 degrees out of the stove. 74 degrees in ,my stove room. It is 70 degrees in my cold spot in my house. (16 degrees outside) So right now it seems to be working, until tomorrow comes.
