Harman accentra 52i lots of ash

[Cody901]

Hey guys
Been burning almost a month now on room temp most of the time. I'm still learning as this is my first stove. I couldn't be happier with the heat output of this thing. From what I have been reading this time of the year the stoves run alittle dirtier from turning on and off. It's getting colder at night and I have been turning it in manual so the stove stays warm. I am curious as how often everyone else has to scrape the burn pot? I have been getting a good amount of ash build up that won't fall out into the ash pan on its own. I have been burning Lignetics bagged by tractor supply. I also picked up some bags of Kingdom bio fuel which have a lot less fines. I will probably pick up a ton of them next week. I will attach a photo below of the build up and would appreciate any input.
Thanks
Cody

I scrape it daily.

It's falling out on its own. The fire creates new ash and that ash pushes the ash in front off the ledge. The new ash replaces the ash that fell off. This is a continuing process. I'll never admit it but I've left mine unscraped for a week. The air holes weren't plugged and everything was running fine. I usually scrape every day or two. What you see is normal. Enjoy the heat.

Appreciate the input I think I just need to leave it alone and let it work

Takes a while to learn your stove. Glad to hear you are asking questions from stove veterans!

That's exactly what my 52i looked like when burning Lignetics as well as a few other brands. I've. Urged other brands that hardly produce any ash and other brands that leave loads of ash and carbon speed bumps. Part of the fun is trying different brands and learning what your stove likes or doesn't like.
