I have this wood pellet stove bought last year. All last winter, no issues - cleaned weekly. This year we bought pellets from same place and middle of this winter noticed we now have to clean biweekly if not more. Lots of burnt whole pellets in burn box, black glass, horrible smell after a few days from cleaning. We clean it two days a week now, not making too much difference - gets dirty fast. Door gasket is fine, rope gasket around glass diminished but still there. Tested for leakage by using paper in between door and stove - none, fits tight. We clean the catch piece at the u-joint of pipe (it comes off and we vacuum it and as much of pipe as we can). We were told it might be exhaust blower in need of cleaning. We removed the three side screws and located what we believe is exhaust blower and vacuumed that. It still seems to be burning hot with tall flame and aggressive blower noise.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Please help! Thank you!!
