I have a Lennox wood pellet stove, Winslow model I believe. Can anyone tell me how frequently the auger should feed pellets once lit? Mine is feeding every 2-3 seconds and it seems awful fast to me. It doesn’t seem like it used to be that way but I couldn’t swear to it. Thanks
Feeding too fast?

From the Manual
Manual Operation After the stove is burning (see lighting above), the heat selector knob controls the pellet burn rate and the stove’s heat output. Turning the knob to setting 1 allows the stove to burn about 1.8 pounds of pellets per hour - about 8,500 BTUs per hour. Turning the knob to high allows the stove to burn 4.7 pounds of pellets per hour - about 39,000 BTUs per hour. Once set, the stove will continue to burn at this rate until shut off.
