We have a PC45 at our office that recently has been having problems. The flame has been burning extremely lazy the last few days, and burning dirty. We did a thorough cleaning of pipes and unit but it still doesn't seem right.
Just yesterday I found the entire fire box engulfed in flames due all the unburnt pellets being pushed into the ash bin, and black smoke pouring out the exhaust.
After a few hours of running the entire burn pot will be filled about 3 or 4 inches high and pushing partially burned and hot pellets into the bin.
The flame actually looks better with the hopped lid open. There is no OAK installed. And the flapper is freely moving, but seems to stay closed even with unit on
Pics of pipe setup, just goes out horizontel thru the wall about 2'.
Any ideas?
The pic is just after i scrapped the 2" of crusty ash and most the unburnt pellets off
