I have a mini - this is my 3rd season using it.
1st year -great.
Year 2 - couldn't run it below 3 - flame outs. Chalked it up to poor pellets.
This season - occasional flameouts, I don't trust the stove on low, even with the low setting auger control kicked up a notch.
ALSO - poor lighting - I have to empty the burn pot of petllets 2 or 3 times before it lights. Igniter is pulling ~450 watts. Seems not as hot as it used to be.
BTW, I cleaned my stove and chimney last summer. There was a lot more ash in there than I expected.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance!
