Ran out of my MWP pellets and had to dig into my stash of Canadian Energex (4 tons) Stove is running dirty with them. I did the usual leaf blower cleaning before I switched over. Have burned about 15 bags now and still can't get the ash under control. Every 2nd day, I have to dump out the burn pot because there are clumps of ash. Looks like a bird's nest with holes. These clump easily crumble apart. I have followed the advise for adjusting the damper. Set stove on high for 15 min. close damper, then gradually open it until I get a good burning flame. But the next day, the flame is bigger, and the glass is covered in a thick blanket of ash which easily brushes right off. Heat output is nearly equal to MWP.
With MWP I didn't have this problem. cleaning was done on day 3 more out of habit than need. Never any clumping in the burn pot. Suggestions?
