I’m running my Accentra in Room attempt mode. I understand that the feed rate is adjusted by the ESP and not the feed rate dial setting. Last nights OAT was around +10. This morning the house was a comfortable 70 degrees. The stove never reaches the temp set point and is in a continuous heat mode I guess it is trying to reach its set point casing incomplete combustion of pellets. Should I be running the insert in Stove Temp or Room Temp and adjust the feed rate to maintain 1 inch of burn pot ash line at night , and switch to Room Temp in the day when the OAT rises? I have just completed a level three cleaning. Every time I load the hopper I scrape the burn pot.
