Hello all
After three years of struggling with this stove, including a new circuit board, I thought that I had it dialed finally. However, I recently got a new ton of pellets from the same manufacturer that I had been using, Tri State Biofuels here in PA, and the new pellets are shorter in length and darker in color. At first, I was very excited about the shortness as some of the other pellets had been 2 plus inches in length and would get stuck.
Anyhow, I can't seem to get these to burn, or maybe bc they are smaller, more pellets are fed through the auger. After about 8 hours, my burn pot is full to the brim, whereas I used to be able to get closer to 18 or so. I have tried opening the damper all of the way and also moving the "jumper switch" around on the circuit board.
Also, my heat output is way less.
Do you think it is a pellet problem or some combo of feed rate/damper opening?
How should I trouble shoot?
