Having a problem with pellets not dropping into the feed auger. New Quadrafire CB 1200. Recently pellets seem to be sticking together just above the auger. Been having issues with stove going out while still calling for heat. Think I have narrowed it down to the auger/feed adjustment plate. When it stops feeding, if I move the adjustment plate, I can hear pellets drop into the auger. Seems they are packing together and forming a bridge just above the opening. After I move the plate and pellets drop, it will run as expected. Sometimes will go for a couple of days before it happens again. Usually run with plate open more than half so don't think I have it shut down to far.
Only started happening when I switched to Vermont pellets. Is it possible that the softwood pellets are more prone to this? Or is this possibly a design flaw? Any ideas?
