My new house has a Whitfiled Profile 20 stove that was installed and well maintained by the previous owner. I have read the manual numerous times and I think I now understand the ins and outs. I have a problem that I can't seem to find a solution to. I was constantly overflowing the basket with pellets and they aren't burning fast enough.
Last night I disconnected the stove from the horizontal exhaust (it goes directly outside and is only about 2 feet long. I cleaned out a lot of soot that was sitting in the part that connects the exhaust pipe to the blower. I also cleaned and scraped the entire stove, removed the photo eye and filter for cleaning, and replaced the 1/2" nylon gasket that goes around the front of the stove. Last night I ran it and noticed that the damper didn't really have much of an effect on the burn rate. The stove continues to burn a orange lazy flame and spill over the Ultra grate while on medium and high.
I use the premium Dry Creek pellets. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've double checked everything that the manual suggests and I am getting very frustrated. It is a very simple machine and just doesn't want to work correctly.
