Hi. I'm new to the forum and just bought a used cb 1200 that needs some work. I have to say first that I'm a huge fan of the site and have read a bunch of posts that I think are pointing me in the right direction to solve my problem. I still can use some specific help though. So when I got the stove the auger chute was completely jammed with pellets that had soaked up some moisture and formed a cake. The first thing I did was clean that out but now the fire in the pot is always very low and the burned pellets seem to fly all over the place making a sustained fire almost impossible. I can't figure out whether this is a feed rate issue or an air flow issue or both. One thing I did notice is that the burn pot had a pretty significant gap in between the clean out plate and the pot. I tried to shim the plate at first to get a better seal and it did seem to help a little bit although the seal still wasn't great. Yesterday I took the burn pot out and really scraped and cleaned it up so that the seal is tight. Now I'm waiting to get a new burn pot gasket so that I can test it out again. In the meantime I was just wondering if anyone thinks this is going to solve my problem or if it sounds like something different. The auger seems to be running right although I'm not really sure how many pellets it is supposed to dump. It will run for the minute or so upon start up and then will turn about 6 times a minute to feed the fire dropping maybe an average of 5 pellets or so per time. I have the feed rate adjuster all the way open. The thermocouple seems to be working fine and turns the green and red light on as expected as well. If anyone has some advice on what my next steps should be I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!
