Every pellet brand may require some tinkering. The setting is ball park and can be increased as needed. They don't list a setting for low fire. But if you have the gauge you can check it and graually increase it to your liking. Playtime. ;-)
Post the pellet brand name if you would. I'd also try the regular pellet mode and let the agitator help you. Some premiums aren't always premiums!
'Premium Bio Synergy Wood Pellet Fuel'
These are the best pellets I have used. Pellet quality, imo, isn't the issue.
On regular pellets mode the auger runs more frequently and pushes the pellets out prematurely.
I will play with the damper.

You say the pellets burn slower? Then its is the pellets causing the issue. If you can't reduce the feed trim any more? Than you must increase the blower trim or adjust the damper air.
Problem with pellets that burn slower is they tend to be smothered by the next feed of the auger as they don't get a chance to burn up. Mixing them with the agitator will also help them from being smothered. I aint no rookie and have burned many many brands with my Omega. Some that were absolute junk or dirt in a bag! Same engine as the M55 but my agitator runs with the auger feed. I have never had a pellet back up in my stove. Or had pellets that didn't finish burning get dumped over the side into the ash pan. Just saying!

I assumed that having more time between agitating would help give the pellets time to burn. Maybe like you say the opposite is true, more frequent agitating could help them burn.
So, you never have glowing ambers kicked into the ashpan?

But, if it was constantly doing this...I would increase the air with the damper or trim depending on how bad it is. Sometimes the glowing pellet will catch the unburned pellets in the ashpan on fire and they they will slowly burn out on their own. But that is a rare occurence and usually only happens on higher settings.

BenX said:Is there a way too further decrease the feed trim rate?
Problem solved - was caused by poor quality pelletsI am burning premium hardwood pellets. Set to premium pellets, manual setting 3 with combustion air on 3 and feed trim on 1. These pellets burn so slowly that even with the feed trim on lowest setting, they are still glowing ash when they are pushed into the ash pan. Same thing on manual setting 2 to a slightly lesser degree.
Is there a way to help the pellets burn up faster?
Is there a way too further decrease the feed trim rate?
