I need some help.....my blowers seem to be working fine. But I have a lazy large flame and pellets are filling the pot and not burning quick enough....
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Sounds like the stove needs a real good cleaning, or your combustion blower isnt doing its job. Pull the cast back plates out and look at the fins on your combustion blower , and see if its all clogged with ash. Remove the vent pipe off the back and see if you have ash built up in the pipe.
The only thing I can think of on a Quad Castile with lazy flame is lack of air, so look at all your seals, including the cleanout slots in the firebox and make sure they are both completely closed or you lose your negative pressure and get lazy flame.
I would take all the plates out and really clean it good, including the vent. Also clean the air holes in the bottom of firepot, if they are blocked you get lazy flame from lack of air too.

Well....my next move was to the stove pipe outside. About 2 months ago I had cleaned my stove pipe what I thought was thoroughly...well at the very topof my stove pipe outside where the pipe makes a 90 degree away from house with a dryer grate....that's where I found a plug....a pretty good one....I think there may have been a hive started from summertime. Stove is running super now! This summer ill be covering the end of my pipe to prevent surprise plugging in the future.
THANKS AGAIN to all for input!
