    I think he means he discovered the auger was plugged with fines????

    Admitting to fault is the first step. :lol:

    LMPS I'm glad to hear your stove is still working that's great!
    Am sure that most of us here have overlooked similar
    things with our stoves before. Enjoy!

    As some around here keep telling folks.

    A clean stove is a happy, safe, and warm stove ;-).

    Old school wood. It never faults and if the power goes out, well, the power goes out. Not the stove.

    Even that suffers from malfunctions, namely operator misfiring or not firing at all.

    One of these days I'm gonna set up a audiable alarm for mine. I'll use a lazer to sense the hopper level and a nice annoying buzzer(full detail of design withheld due to patent pending and no I aint gonna share it! Its mine I say all mine!!!!).
