Hi I have just bought this furnace used but in great shape for $500 dollars. I see your guy's videos of your flame and my is nowheres near as active so I want to upgrade my exhaust fan but dont know which one to buy. Also when I first received the stove the fan was so loaded with crude it would not turn. The stove was not well maintained. It runs now but I definitely think it has room for improvement. The video is setting 3 fuelmizer if I put it on 5 the pellets start pilling up in the pot. The pellets I'm burning are great quality in my area they are stars and stripes premium pellets. Tried a few different types but I get the same results.

My stove is 50F 2492

Have you done a full cleaning?
I mean pulled it apart a blew it out and vacuumed every nook and carny.
 
Yes top to bottom clean as a whistle. It was really really bad when I brought it home so bad the fan was seized from creosote but it's all clean.
 
. From the manual Do you have one?
The draft trim mode on the control board allows the draft fan speed to be increased or decreased. Default is level 3. Arrow up to increase air and down to decrease air. This may be helpful in a venting situation that is restrictive, a long horizontal run or a venting system with excessive elbows for instance
You can get a manual here
