Does running your stove on high for some amount of time help burn off creosote?
If you do for how long and how often? I have a vertical pipe through the roof.

Can you over heat a pellet stove??
Thanks for the reply. My installer was telling me if you over heat one its toast. Lol I think he really wanted me to buy a wood stove[emoji107] but I dont have the room for one.Cute avitar....lol
No, you cant so long as your limit switches are working correctly. Even if the room air blower fails, the high limit will shut down fuel feed before the stove gets destructively hot. Thats what the 'WH' certification is all about, Warnock-Hershey tests stoves for just that scenario. If they pass (among other test criteria) they get the WH seal and certification. WH is the AGA (American Gas Association) of solid fuel burning appliances.
Countryside stove recommends this practice daily for an amount of time. Some of that is to clear the exhaust passages of ash. Not an issue for Harman.Does running your stove on high for some amount of time help burn off creosote?

Pellet stove are wood burning appliances. Therefore they can produce creosote. Plain and simple.
Run em hot and run em hard. Seems to keep most stoves from flue gas problems. Pellets do have about 7-8 percent water, corn that we burn is around 13-15 percent so stands to reason multifuel stove manufactures recommend a high fire.30 years and no creosote on pellets or corn, I must be the exception then. Only ash here, always, but then, I don't idle it along either.
Enjoy your cider.....

Now anyone really want to talk about whether or not a pellet stove can go inmto an overfired
I shall enjoy the cider, there are just so many things that can and do go wrong that I can't let one persons actual experience with a properly operated heating device give everyone the warm fuzzes.
He double I came home to a burned out boiler one evening. Funny about all those safety devices, when one of them fails all bets are off. The same goes for operators.
Been around too long I guess. Fire can either keep you warm and kill the microorganisms in that slab of meat so it doesn't kill ya or it can kill ya. Double bit ax at work it cuts in both directions.
