I got a new Englander: http://summersheat.com/25-pdvc.html
The hopper is lined with ridged sealant that the fuel simply will not slide down the hopper to the auger and get's hung up. So the stove shuts down with a loaded hopper in under 8 hours. So it will go out when I want to sleep in and then have to re prime to auger.
I am guessing the best thing for now is to top off the hopper right before sleep. But I am not going to go through this ordeal all winter.
Also I recomend lighting pellets manualy as to auto ignite seems too low of output to ignite pellets quickly resulting in smolder and rapid spontenous combustion.
If you plan on getting one of these just a heads up for you. Other than that I am satisfied but still shows signs of hurry and rush jobs with some sloppy welds (which may be good but not filed) and messy hopper sealant
