    If it happens more on damp mornings or damp days, then the Selkirk DT venting that pre-heats the burn air with help reduce them also.

    This is the first year that I have had the turds in the Harmon. Large ones that it has difficulty passing. This is also the first year I had a pallet of stove chow throw out some green and dark yellow flame. On my 3rd pallet of chow this season and this pallet has a different and lighter color than the others. I run the harmon at 5 to 5.5 stove temp most of the time. At least there are no skid marks on the glass. LOL

    I was the one who started the whole smartstove thing. When I said it I was more referring to the use of the esp in maintaining a steady heat output regardless of the pellet.

    Having said that, I do find that the room temp is steady to within one degree. Every setup is different I guess.

    Never thought this whole smartstove thing would create such conversation.... ;)
    No clinkers or turds in my stove. Ash gets pushed off the front of the burnpot in my stove and doesn't cling on.

    All of the box store pellets I have tried do not create turds. But yes I agree emptying the ash pan once more per season than I would if I bought the super premium pellets is no biggie to me either. Clean my stove regularly so that's not a game changer either.
