Hello all,
In the past I have got great advice regarding my 25-PAH stove. Well, it is still sooting up within 24 hours now. Glass turns BLACK as does the entire surface of the inside of the stove. I tried calling Englander, no joy there. Busy signal since Monday.
I am using Pennwoods and the stove gets plenty hot keeping a temp of 69 degrees in the house. And that reading is down the hallway. Ranch home.
I have tried running at a variety of settings and still get this very fine black ash. It comes off quick enough, but is getting to the point I have to clean it every 40 hours or so. Thorough cleaning Monday morning. By thorough I mean every nook and cranny. Flue pipe out the roof. The two plates inside the burn box including cleaning up inside those ports. It takes me a solid hour plus to give this thing a thorough cleaning. The preset buttons are 2/4/1 . It is not as if the stove is not getting hot enough, it's just all this black ash/soot is annoying. I am attaching an image of the inside of the firebox to show where I brushed off the inside around the pellet drop tube to show the difference.
Any help is always appreciated.
