brand new to pelet stoves and just purchased a lennox montage. seemed like a decent stove after all the research and the price was fair, this is my first pellet stove so i have a few questions hopefully some of you guys can answer. i have it sitting in front of my fireplace and venting through my chimney using a liner. stove seems to have been updated with the new control board and locked damper.
1- I seem to be having some issues adjusting the flame, flame color is decent but very intermittant on height. it can go from 6-8" highr than the burn pot to being barely able to see it. ive played with the damper and heat seems good so maybe its just me being new to the pellet stoves.
2- auger motor seems very noisy at times, ive run 2 diff brands of pellets through it maybe 6 bags total, and doesnt change it. almost sounds like it getting stuck or breaking the pellets. i'm using green supremes and new england pellets. none of the pellets seem to long according to the lennox manual.
3- started it up about 5am this morning and been running on high since and barely seems to have taken the chill out of the air, so im worried maybe its not big enough to heat the house for the winter, house is a 1400 sqaure foot cape.
like i said could be me, i just replace a wood insert stove i was using to heat the house the last 5 years, which did good, just a poor burn time and was usually out by the time i got home so i figured a pellet stove would better suit me for refilling. just want to make sure im using this correctly or should i be calling lennox for a technician
thanks in advance
