I dont use those pellets, however, setting the flame height on the AE is the same for all pellets. Select your fuel type, hardwood softwood etc., and set stove to manual high setting. After stove stabilizes, check to see if the flame hits the top of the diamond on the baffle. If it is too low, increase the flame height if too high decrease. I use Turman hardwood pellets and I am set at -5 flame height. After the flame height is set you can then put the stove back on auto or manual and what ever heat setting you want.wyatt9696 said:Hey there folks, anyone have recommended settings for these pellets. i. e. flame height etc...Thanks

the way i explained it is the way it is in the manual. you adjust the flame height on manual high to the top of the diamond then it will be correct in any other setting either auto or manual. the flame height adjust is actually the pellet feed rate adjustment on the AE.EarlyMan said:I dont use those pellets, however, setting the flame height on the AE is the same for all pellets.

I too have a Mt Vernon insert. I'm currently using Maine's Choice for the shoulder season. What is the difference between your method and simply adjusting the flame height setting in Auto? I adjust the flame to the top of the diamond (like you do). However, using the Maine's Choice pellets, I found that I needed to set the flame height to +5 (max).
Also, on a different note, I always set fuel type to Hardwood, whether I use hard or softwood, as this setting gives the longest burn time between burn pot cleanings.
