What just happened!
I was just sitting in the library and heard a loud bang. My son comes running in and say the boiler just blew up (minor exaggeration). Next the fire alarms go off and the family is outside in the cold. I go down to the basement to find the boiler room full of smoke, the PB-105 lit and the ash pan full of pellets. The exhaust is billowing smoke outside.
The controls are set at 3.5 for the feed rate, min temp at 155 max at 175.
With the exception of the somke and the bang everything seemed normal!
My questions are!
1-Is this something to be expected from the PB-105?
2-Is there something to be done about it?
3-Is there an inharent danger to this thing doing this?
4-Is my wife going to make me put my new toy outside?
P.S. I told the family to come back inside
