How soon once it goes away after a cleaning does it come back?
It gradually built back up over a few months.

Hi tonyd,If you are getting creosote. or smoke in the hopper, try this mod. Worked for me.
I would like to see pictures after the stove is turned off and cool. Don't do anything other than open the door and take 5 or 6 angles, then we can dissect and discuss before cleaning and taking more pictures.
In some of your burn pictures the flame guide appears lifted on the right front. Could be just the pictures. You said you also have 3 flame guides. can you post pics?
Thanks it is only set on 2 ...In an unrelated item your feed rate is too high.
Yes they still have info on gummy stove syndrome. read many posts on gummy stove syndromeGummy stove syndrome. It was a big issue years ago. There may still be some info in the archives, I don't know how long they keep them before they are purged.
Nope that is from the flames that burn under the burn potIs the access cover on the burn pot leaking ?? If not it would seem to me the pot gasket is leaking ? Also is that pellet fines, dust under the pot ?? Just some thoughts.....
Just had a new burn pot with access cover and gasket put in by Harman tech... that is ash that flies around from the fire and accumulates there... before we changed the burn pot actual pellets used to drop there and burn but since the new burn pot only flying ash accumulates there ... I've watched it very closely since replacing the burn pot to see what is happening... ThanksIs the access cover on the burn pot leaking ?? If not it would seem to me the pot gasket is leaking ?

Sorry I did not get a pic of the slide plate as that was taken apart by Harman Tech who said it was clean... and operating perfectly...I did see it and there was no build up of any kind on it. Just could not snap pics while he was working in there.In reference to gummy stove, I'd be curious to see what your slide plate looks like.
Tech said that the new burn pot made a tight fit/seal... watching him I did not notice any warping on the back wall ... but I was not doing the job myself...
At this point, I'm wondering if the wall, where the burn pot is fastened, has any cracks or other defects of any kind. If it was me, I would cool down the stove, take off the burn pot, take a flash light and look at it the best I can in search of cracks, particularly where it is fastened against the burn pot. Any signs of cracking would not be a good sign.
Pellet fines...Is that rust or pellet fines on the picture in the right? I bumped into one of your earlier post where you mentioned you found foam in the pellet. Was this observed prior to noticing the flames underneath the burn pot? I admit that I fishing for a cause, but really you should check the wall as suggested earlier.
