YES!...And now the pot is full again. Time to contact Mike.....
I emailed Mike and didn't get a reply. Then again, my stove is out of warranty...I've been cleaning the burnpot everyday like the tech told me is required rolleyes. It's been running fine for about 10-20 bags with no burn pot fills. It just filled today. I know every square inch of this stove as far as cleaning goes. I'm considering the fact that it's probably a warped burn pot.
when did you email me? and what address did you send it to, i just looked at my "work" email on my office computer and i dont see anything for a CPM unit did you send to the "stoveguy" email? thats my home account and i havent to be honest looked at it for several days with prepping for the holiday and my daughter home from college. if you would please send the e mail to the "mholton" addy in my sig line include contact info so i can get in touch with you
Mike will get back to you very fast, he did for meI'm sorry Mike. I should have said IM. I have a bad habit of calling IM's emails and visa versa. I think? It was one of the contacts that was posted in this thread. In my message I posted a link to this thread to help out a little.

Listen to Dex's advice here.....you do NOT need the AOT on 3. If the stove is set-up properly, it's clean, and the control board is in the correct mode, it should run fine. I am currently running for 2 weeks w/o having opened the door.....great heat, no pot buildup. Get in touch w/ Mike ASAP to diagnose your issue.That stove should not need the AOT set at 3.
There is an airflow issue somewhere. Imacman burned 59 bags in his CPM without opening the door or touching anything.......
Talk to Mike... Take his advice. The CPM is a stove that will burn the most pitiful pellet with ease!! When set up and burning properly
It that what the swivel elbow is for? Is there any way of knowing what mph of wind it would take? This is my vent location. I need to go outside and look to see which way the exhaust is facing, and with 12mph wind?View attachment 85852
Just a quote from another thread.
"3 seasons ago i used stove chow and pres to logs on the 1-3-1 or 1-4-1 settings with great success. this year i returned to stove chow and have been having the same issue with the large spongee clinkers. i reverted back to 1-2-3 and presto, perfect burn and hot."
Don't know why but it works. What could possibly be the harm? Perhaps Mike can let us know. Still burning furious, hot and clean with the GS. 4.5 Days into this setting.
.....Many of of us here have this stove. Many of us can go.Loooong periods without worrying about pellet build up (I dont even think about it, in any of my stoves)
A properly set-up and burning stove should be just that.
Yep, what he said.
I had an Avalon Astoria before my 10-cpm. It was my very first stove (dealer showroom unit), and I'd never burned anything but cord wood before. That stove didn't have any stirrer, but I went for long periods w/o opening the door on that one either.
BUT, it was spotlessly clean, had a good vent system, an OAK, I knew the motors were running at speed, were lubricated, and the pellets were at least decent.
My guess is that the EP series shouldn't need daily "maintenance" either, if running properly. The PDVC and PVC need that daily pot scrape....I think it's listed as a daily item in the manual.Operating as it should A PDVC or PDV may need daily pot tending. There are 2 stoves in the Englander line-up that i know shouldn't need daily anything. The 10-CPM and 10-CDV (no auto ignite/older model. But still a goodie)
Clean, check EVL, check gaskets, reset board, etc... Listen to Mikes advice.
