Not doubting Fyrebug's qualifications, but a quick phone call to the company that made/sells it might yield quick results.No, but I;m working with Fyrebug on a solution, could just be a minor tweak in the settings.

Well... Fyrebug works for the company that made/sells the unit. If I'm not sure I ask the proper authorityNot doubting Fyrebug's qualifications, but a quick phone call to the company that made/sells it might yield quick results.

What kind of exhaust temps are you seeing under full speed? Yes using 4" EVL is equivalent vent length each 90 or t=5 feet for example, your allowed to go 30' total EVL. The eco-65 uses the same dual augers and air pump, I just seem to have the pellets not go near the igntio so some reason , they stack up more on the left, side, igntior is on the right side...Fyrebug is the man when it comes to an SBI unit...
As for the EVL?? 27 feet? You are using 4" correct?
My Enerzone Eurostar starts in under 4 min. They have have a dual auger system and the air pump is a blower up stream from ignitor. There are 2 blowers that are used for burning. One is blown into the pot (combustion blower) and the other sucks it out of the stove (exhaust blower like all stoves have).
Just got it finished and installed today. Replaces a Quad that I had for 5 seasons.
I love mine.

I don't think it has an air pump? But it has 2 blowers for combustion. One before the pot (blowing air through the pot) and then the standard exhaust blower that all stoves have that "pull" air through the stove (push it out the exhaust).
Both of these blowers are adjustable to help burn high ash fuels or help a restrictive flue. It also keeps the firebox almost "neutral" pressure. When I open my door, the flame doesn't change because air is being pushed through it. Where any other stove, the flame goes lazy because the stove lost its negative pressure. This also makes the Enerzone less noticeable to gasket leaks and such. A bad door gasket can make a bad burn on a lot of stoves.
Yeah, its another part that can fail. But the positives outweigh the negatives.
Does the eco 65 have an actual air pump? Or is it the combustion blower like on mine?
I'll throw my little .02 cents/canadian.True, unless I get a hopper jam then , I will be a while emptying that out...........stove is 425 lbs empty BTW, I'm pretty happy with it except for some minor issues, like its a pellet pig...
I was counting from the time I turned on the stove, until I saw a visible flame, but it varies sometimes its a few minutes and sometimes its really long to start. It takes a good 20-30 minutes after that to get a good flame. You need to press the auger feed prime button and the + heat button at the same time for 2 seconds. The display will stay on even when the stove is off, press again to clear the same way. If you unplug the stove then it clears automatically. I usually run around 250-275 on high and about 210 on med high settings. I don;t like to burn under 200 as creosote can form more at lower temps. The wifi T stat if working well also. I have it set for a tight .5 degree swing otherwise it times out and restarts when idle for a long time with pilot set to auto.
Hi, I do have an ECO-65 and quite please with it, but I noticed that if I look right down to my door, I can see the flames, meaning that the face of the stove warped under the high heat. Do you have the same problem?Well, I started the 1st burn on the new ECO-65 and I see some improvements could be incorporated
Cons:
1. Too long of ignition time.
2. Too many clinkers falling into the ash pot upon start up
3. Fan blower speed should be displayed on the screen, your guessing on the setting where it is set.
4. Blower runs on high on shutdown, which is fine but it should go to low then off..
5. Door gasket stuck to the front face and tore at the seam upon 1st start up....
Pros:
1. It burns pretty clean.
2. The blower has a good volume of air
3. Throws out plenty of heat on high
4. Low flue temperatures means; its pretty efficient.
5. Flue temperature display on the panel is nice.

I am glad I bought my $25 magnehelic to see how well the chimney is working, here is a pic I am getting a good reading...

How did you installed the magnehelic ?
Hummmm about the door gasket??, hard to believe it's warp but who knows, maybe take a straight edgeHi, I do have an ECO-65 and quite please with it, but I noticed that if I look right down to my door, I can see the flames, meaning that the face of the stove warped under the high heat. Do you have the same problem?
I'm missing something on this "auger and plus button"! will this show if I'm not burning pellets???I have modded the burn pot to prevent pellets falling down until they burn down, sometimes upon start up the un burnt pellets fall down into the ash pan. I also can tell you how to fix the door problem but its not the door itself, I;m working with SBI for a better fix.. Turn the heat down for now to resolve the issue. Press the auger feed key and plus button, this will show your exhaust temps, keep them around 240 you will be ok. You can tighten the door one turn, as a temp fix.
You can press the 2 buttons while its running or not, anytime does not matter! Better with it running since the the auger feed can run if you press it before the + button.I'm missing something on this "auger and plus button"! will this show if I'm not burning pellets???
or do I have to wait that it's in full strenght????
