I am burning hardwood pellets,have outside air hookup. What should my settings on the bottom buttons be? I am having clinker buildup.I am heating a 1700 sq. ft 100 year old house with this so I can't complain about it. I would just like to fine tune it. I used 2 1/2 tons so far this year and about 1/8 of a tank of oral.
 
Welcome to the forum.

I see mike has chimed in, so your in good hands.

depends , did the clinker buildup just start recently or has it been there all along???

The whole time. The first ton of pellets wasn't to bad but the second ton was from Lowes and they sucked. Now I am burning Energex pellets and they burn good, lots of heat but I still have clinker buildup. I use this as my sole source of heat so it is burning 24/7. I bought this used off of Craigslist for a nice price. The people who had it were burning pellets with the stirrer in place. I can get the Energex pellets for $200 a ton at a local stove shop. They smell like they consist of mostly walnut.
 
I have a 10-CDV that I am really enjoying. This is the second year and I havent had a problem with clinkers yet. I have burned Pennington's, Corinth, and a few bags of Okies. I also use the stirrer. I tried it w/o and found that the ash built up really quick and then I wasnt getting a good flame or a lot of heat out of the stove. I am still using the factory settings and havent had any problems. My only problem was with a weak auger motor which I replaced and now things are burning well.
