Well, like I said in the other thread that talks about how your stove started up this year,
www.hearth.com/talk/threads/how-did-your-pellet-stove-start-up-go-this-year.91503/
I finally bit the bullet and started the stove up . About a week earlier than I wanted to, but the house was cool.
Over the summer, I did some maintenance on the stove....new door & glass gaskets, made some burnpot gaskets to test out, and installed a new ignitor. The old one (original to the stove AFAIK), was only getting hot on the inner half but DID still start the stove, although it normally took about 5-6 minutes and the burn pot was almost 3/4 full when she did finally light off.
Well, let me tell you, that new one is AMAZING....from cold stove w/ NO pellets in the pot, to flame was 2 minutes 45 seconds. I actually saw sparks at about the 90 second mark. No more full pot either...the pellets were less than 1/4 the way up.
Anyone else have any idea how long from an empty pot/cold stove to flame yours takes? Just curious.
I'm LOVING this. But I kept the old ignitor, just in case......
