Started my Harman P43 for first time yesterday set it on auto room temp. I have not had any experience with pellets stoves so here is a dumb question the fire has what for a better term flying reg ash flying around inside the stove is this normal?
There are probably better ones but this was a quick Google search.
Ashes/embers flying is normal unless it is excessive. Usually the embers flying around are from pellet dust. So some are fine but a whole lot may mean you have a feed problem or your pellets have issues.
The burning embers flying around inside the burn chamber, like in the video above, are perfectly normal and mean the combustion air is circulating well. If yours looks like that, no worries.
