Greetings
New poster here. I have used the wealth of info on the forums before buyig my Sante Fe last year. My question revolves around the depth of the pellets burning in the burnpot. On low setting my depth is about 1/2 inch, nice even burn, flame sometimes rises to a max of 3 to 4 inches above rim of pot, but usually level with the rim. When I turn the stove to medium the pellets fill to just under halfway point or about 2-3 inches deep (after only 30 minutes or so)which seems way too high, so I shut her down and let the fan blow burn out the coals and restart. I'm just afraid that as quickly as that fills up that it might lead to an over fire during the night. The feed rate setting is all the way down or lowest rate possible and I'm burning Unle Jeds softwood pellets that I had godd luck with last year. The Pro-pellets I bought recenty, I returned because they would not burn completely and I was having a clinker within 12 hours and the pot filled up too fast, that's why I switched. Now the condition is better on low but the medium setting seems to fill up too fast. Anyone experience this, or is that level of pellets burning accepable? The stove has a one-ton cleaning cycle performed every saturday (baffles,tubes,vent etc). Thanks in advance
