here is a video i just shot of my stove. it has been running a few hours already and this is how it runs all the time with the new board i just installed.
(hope video works, never used youtube for my own video's before)

there are 4 feed rate setting's on this stove and im running it on #2, seems like the fire is pretty big for only #2? not sure if this is something to be concerned
with and try to adjust?

Don't recall when I shot this video but
looks like it's on #4 heat setting.




Still pic on low:

"Here is my Quad (burning on Low). No sound though. About 1:20 in, is why “Nothing Burns Like A Quadâ€!
Burn pot stays exceptionally clean on it. No matter the pellet. "

That looks like my Quad on high!? Am I not running it properly? I adjusted per the book (4-6" above lip of pot on high). When I turn down to low, flames barely get above edge.
 
Harman PC45 burning Pennywise at a #4 feed rate. The door gasket was later replaced to clean up the glass.

The flame should be adjusted to 4"-6" "above" pot. Thats above the top lip.

My flame there barely breaks the brim of the pot. When it does, its for a second. That was with the fuel gate Wide Open. They suggest you set it to.4"-6" so you do not Overfire the unit on Med or High.

On Low, I run it however I need the heat. Its never been off of Low at all this year (minimal use) but last year it was the only Heat source (have new LP furnace I WONT USE) and I ran it 24/7 on Low 90% of the time. Only hit Med when temps get to 10° and lower.

Letting the stove run, rather than cycle, creates a much more comfortable home with less temps swings and your constantly keeping up with the Heat Loss.

What? Me? I've never derailed a thread in my life. ;-)

I liked The Man. RIP The Intimidator. 11 years ago this race.

Nascar hasn't been the same since.

Back on topic, here's a crappy pic of mine.

I think it is still unknown. There have been a few threads this season about this. Do a search on sub woofer or helicopter.
