Pellet recipe? can someone explain

For Italian pellet stoves (like my Ecoteck, and your Wittus (MCZ)), the "Recipe" refers to the baseline setting for draft and pellet feed rate, which are optimised for a particular pellet and flue configuration. So for my Ecoteck, there is an Installer Menu where you can alter the baseline draft and feed rates (+/- 25%) for a range of flue configurations, from a restrictive horizontal flue, thru a high-drafting, low restriction vertical flue configuration. This setting is typically set once, at installation. There is also a User Menu "Recipe", to trim the pellet feed-rate and exhaust blower speed for small variations in the quality of pellets you are burning. These User trims are small (+/- 5%) changes to the parameters of the choosen Installer menu recipe. The Italian to English translation is a bit funny at times, like calling the the combustion blower a "smoke engine" !

Assuming your MCZ stove has a recipe setting in the Installer Menu, that should be set to agree with your particular flue configuration (low draft, medium draft, high draft). The user recipe trim settings probably don't need to be changed, from nominal, if the pellets you are useing are burning OK (Not OK : lazy yellow /sooty flame OR white-hot blow-torch, with alot of pellets being blown out of the burn-pot, into the ash bin)

For those that are lighthearted.

2 scoops of stove chow, 1 tablespoon of Somerset, a dash of turman, and a swig of Greene team. Bake until combustible and enjoy.

Sounds like an ego problem to me.
