I have a quest with oval pellet chute that last year would occassionally the fire pot would ash up and fire goes out and overfills with pellets. this summer i pull the entire stove apart and clean everthing I even got the exhaust off and clean right to the damper and also took a bottle brush and compressed air to it. Now when I start the stove i have to have the damper closed completely and it is troublesome to get going and if i do get it to run will run for a short period of time at 1/3third pellet feed and i can watch the fire go out as the pellets are burning faster than it supplies the pellet. I have replace the bushing on the auger shaft cleaned the auger tube timed the auger and the intervals have not changed in which it runs the auger. I have changed pellets tried lots of different combinations. it sees now it is getting to much air to combust as the sparks really fly and the pellets really dance with the damper closed. one last note is the fire lasts longer with the fan on low than high. It only has the two speeds.
any insight would be appreciated
