i have an avalon newport bay stove. after lighting the starting gell in the fire pot and closing the door i adjust the auger speed ,and the blower fan . after a few minutes however the flame smolders out. it doesnt seem to be getting any air flow to the fire pot to keep the flame going. the auger motor and the convection and the conduction blower motors are all working fine . is there a another motor that provides air to the fire pot to keep the flame going ? anyone have any thoughts on this , thanks .
fire in fire pot wont stay going

Clean it out. And by it, I refer to the stove and the venting. remove the combustion motor, remove cleanout traps on the sides of the stove, go get em.

Also if that stove has a damper it might be closed and not allowing anywhere enough air to keep a fire going.
So I'll add check and clean the air path from the air intake through to the chamber under the fire pot and make sure the damper is set correctly.
