A new pellet stove owner at work(2nd year) almost had
a serious situation. He had flames shooting out of the seams
of his exhaust pipe. Pipe has a 5-6 ft rise then out the house.
His smoke detectors woke him up so he was able to shut stove
down and prevent a major fire. Cause: Creosote/Ash buildup which
tapping the pipe did not knock loose. He did not use a brush
while cleaning. He will from now on!! Thought I would pass this on.
