Just wanted to share something I found on my Accentra while doing my second cleaning of the year. I found a seam at the very bottom of the stove, behind where the ashcan would sit that grout was cracking out of. Of course, I didn't have any grout, so I used super high temp black silicon to try and seal it if it was leaking. The stuff that was cracking out of the seam looked like something a Mud Dauber(sp) wasp would build. I assume it was grout. I don't know how much air this would leak but sealed it just in case. The stove is burning fine but I have been thinking it doesn't put out as much heat and burn as efficiently as last year. I have been thinking it is the Cleanfire Supremes, but it might be air leaks. The Cleanfire Supreme aren't what I would call a bad pellet at all, but also not as good as last years Lignetics, or Hamer Hot Ones. Both of those where very clean and consistent from bag to bag. Next year, I will buy Cleanfires again for the convinience.
Upon initial start up, I did notice a whistling noise. If I have a problem later I will check into the door gasket, but for now it burns fine.
To summarize, everything is fine, just wanted to share what I found and provide pics.
