Please help, I am so frustrated. I have tried several blends, fireside ultra, Maine choice and Green Supreme and for all hardwoods I have tried energex with the eagle on it (300 ton) and greene team at (274.50 a ton - but can save 12.50 with lowes card). Am I doing something wrong??? I am going through a bag of pellets every 12 -16 hours. have feed rate at 3.4-4 and keep it on the room temp at 70. Doesnt seem to matter which one I use, they are all going though at the same rate, much less ash and cleaner glass with greene team though.
So am I doing something wrong? House is 1900 sq feet 2 floor house. Windows are tight but single pane with storms, basement and attic need a little more insulation, so floors are cold. I also use the direct vent system - wondering if that makes the stove work harder since the air is cold.
I was thinking that I would only be going through a bag a day. The energex seemed to last longer but I think it was milder then. temp outside today is maybe low 40's . I have all electric heat. Also the stove is running continuously. Maybe I should put it on stove temp instead.
I thought I might be saving myself leaving it on 70. Would it be better to make it 74 during the day and turn it down at night.
HELP! and thanks in advance.
