Now I see how yours is. My fathers glass is the same way as yours. Now how long have you been burning on medium with that burnpot being so clean and what are you burning? I saw you changed your profile picture. Is that yours?

I only cleaned my glass once this year. That was just before Christmas.

The Stive was running.for over 15 min before taking the video (On Med/ it had been running.for over an hourtotal). The pellets can Never be see in the Pot, always in the very bottom and being burnt away as new ones drop. I am currently burning Presto Logs.

As for the Avatar? Thats the comment I made yesterday.

This is my 2nd full season with the Fahrenheit. Awesome furnace!! (See Signature). It has an awesome exchanger on it also (18 tubes, compared to the Quads 8 tubes. Although they are a smaller tube, and the Quads are larger.) About 50% of the air comes out of the 18 tube heat exchanger and the other 50% is blown around the firebox (taking the radiant heat away from firebox), so you get the best of both heat exchange worlds

Quad works great in the shoulder season weather. But when it gets cold, the ENTIRE house stays the same temperature with the furnace.

As for the Quad pot, it should be a very active flame and always emitting lots of little sparks. I would try another pellet for sure. But also look at ALL Factory seams and welds. The unit is mainly sheet steel, screwed together with high temp silicone as a seal? One little missed spot and Wa-La, an air leak? Or the ash pan gasket can be a PITA to check for tightness. Just how it sits in the stove, the dollar bill will feel tight. When in reality it isnt. Take a lighter and run it right against the crack around the ash pan, door, and factory seams.

My apologies for the Avatar. I didn't see it on this thread. It's been a long week. My fathers window is like that after a couple of days. We both clean our stoves frequently. We don't like seeing that so we wipe it down alot. Probably just the pellet. Going to get those different ones for him to try today. Wish us luck for him.

I got them to email me a copy of the newly dated manual for the cab50. The silly thing says control box #2 and right above that says the setting should be 4 blinks. Contradicts itself in half a page.

Check your part number on your control box. If its the original one then it goes with the book we got. It says in the book as an example blinks 4 times then setting is 4. Mine is the orig control board so my setting is supposed to be a part. I verified with them via email. Qdfinfo@hearthnhome.com. Either way they made me confuse everything because they ASSUMED based on when my stove was manufactured that it had a new control board. Ugh! Glad that's over! How are you doing with your cab? Loving mine!

I'm on the same board as you. I wonder what the difference between ours and the new board is?

Mine is running good. I had an issue this week with the stat not cutting on telling the stove to burn but I changed the batteries and fixed that.

One thing I learned from my first year I'd pass along is that when you shut it down for the summer don't forget that moisture can get into the box thru the exhaust. I had a few superficial rust spots and this year will put these in :

Thanks. I have those for my basement. I will definitely check it! Are you still running on high or have you tried medium?

Medium mostly. I don't have the northeast winters most here have. Think I burned 75 bags last year and this year at 40 or so.

Wish I had your winters. Lol. Burned about 97 since October. But I'm not complaining!! Warmer house and less money spent!

Did you see the videos I posted? Is that how your flame looks on medium? What's your feed set at?

Is the blend you're talking about the MWP? Can you take a video of your flame? I'm going to do another one with my stove being on high and I've adjusted the feed but I think my fire may be a little lazy and want to make sure it's ok. Per the book's pictures it gets tall when it peaks and looks a little lazy. I have the dampler wide open. And the feed is adjusted low. On medium I keep it half feed and wide open.

don't have a camera for videos. honestly, your video looked good to me.

and yes, mwp. see in my signature

I like the mwp. My issue with the black ash was soot. My t was full and now she is burning nice and clean! No more soot! Luckily it had only been a few days that I had the issue. After almost 2 ton. Book says every 3 ton do a cleaning of the venting. Mine should've been sooner. All is way and I'm better prepared now. First year is the major learning curve
