I bought a refurb englander pellet insert from andy at am fm energy about a month ago. Just started using it last week (getting chilly in NE PA) and love it already! Are there any other tricks to getting the pellets to slide to the auger better? Also new to the igniter after using gel starter for 19 years with my old Breckwell. How long can I expect the igniter to last before needing replacement? Thanks for any advice.
