I've cleaned it 3/4 times tried different pellets..outside air hooked up.
Glass gets pretty dirty after a few hours and allot of ash builds up on window

is the airwash bar in place? sometimes they bounce out in shipping and slip down between the front of the cradle and the front face of the stove. if that bar has fell down and is not in place it will not effectively keep the glass clean at all except right in front of the cradle
What are the settings for the 3 lower buttons. Factory should be 1-3-1. Also check to see if you are in pellet mode. Your owners manual will give you proper instructions on how to change the settings.
Factory settings are 1 4 1.. It's -5 below outside..
Stove is on 9 / 9 house is 70..
House is roughly 1000 sq feet
Burning spruce pointe pellets
Outside air pipe is all frosted up.....does the below zero temps effect flame??

Settings sound perfect. Don't expect a room heater to heat your house at -5. If you have an open floor plan, and a fan or two, you can heat very evenly at temps +15 degrees and above. I have an open floor plan 4 bedroom colonial with 2500 sf. I do pretty well with mine.
On 8-9 I get about 13 hours on a full hopper. The lff affects the feed rate. The lba changes the air coming in for combustion. Leave the last button always on 1 or 2. I have run the stove in 3-5-1 on heat level 4. Way too much fuel and air. Nice heat but will definitely over fire the stove.

Our low temperature yesterday morning was 13 below 0 and I had 74 degrees in a 1100 square foot house running just the 10-cpm with 6-9 and bottom settings at 1-5-2 using Maine woods pellets. That temp was in the stove room -- at the other end of the house it was probably 66 or so. A lot of it is dependent on what type of pellet you're using and there are some crappy ones out there - MWP works good for me. Another thing I've noticed is pellet stoves are great at maintaining a temperature but take a long time to raise temperature....if the house had been at 60 yesterday morning and I tried to get it to 74 with the pellet stove I would have been waiting a very long time. This is our second winter with the stove and I've learned what setting to put it depending on what the temp is outside to keep the house at the temp I want -- and I burn about a bag a day. My OAK frosts up on the outside at a temp in the teens or below - doesn't affect performance.
Not sure on how long bag lasts but would say 7-8 hours......... we have never rally had it below 9/9 even when its 30 F outside....
air wash bar is in place......
after about 8-10 hours there is probably about 2 cups worth of ash on bottom of window.....
going try some Vermont pellets next to see if this helps at all

Right in front of the cradle is where the ash starts to build than forms a little mountain 2-3 inches up the glass
I "believe" on single auger stove like ours, it affects the heat setting 1-9.....I'm sure Mike will confirm or deny that...
when you reboot the control board it kicks the "fuel mode" setting to 3. need to set it back to mode 1 for pellet or it will not feed fuel.
unplug, replug, press blower speed up and down together (2 fingers) and release, should see a 3 in the heat range , use heat range down to lower this to 1. mode 3 is not an active CPM mode so it doesnt look at the secondary control board which has the lockouts. what it would do is feed if you hold the on button in but quit feeding as soon as you release it

Actually found out tonight the air wash bar had fallen down....checked to make sure stove wad in pellet mode..cleaned out and added new bag of Maine wood pellets softwood..started up good and running pretty well right now on 7/7... Would the air wash bar have anything to do with how itwas burning?
