This is great....ok, I hooked up my stove tonight. Turned it on, pellets start falling, pellets almost lit then all of a sudden it turns off...
I tried turning it on and nothing, no lights blinking, nothing. I unplug it and when I plug it back in, I hear the noise that it usually makes when I plug it in ( like an electrical noise) but still nothing. No lights, nothing. There is electric going to the outlet. I read through my manual and it tells me where the reset button is, I push it doesn't seem to do anything to me but I plug it back in and still nothing....
Is there any test I can do to test my circuit board to see if something is wrong with that....
What else could it be?

Man I am so screwed now if I can't get this to work... I had a feeling something was going to go wrong with me moving it around.


Oh, hang on I might be an idiot...............
 
It looks like I was the idiot. I flipped the switch to auto instead of manual. Even though my thermostat does not have any batteries in it, it made the stove shut off.

Don't feel bad. I was tinkering with mine(because the wife gave me that "cold look"!) and I couldn't get it to go. Switched the board to manual and it started? Hmmm. Duh!-I forgot to turn my stat to heat was all! Stove is purring now and I feel warmth coming up the vents. :)
 
Yup, I guess I forgot how to use my stove. Hopefully I don't forget how to put pellets in it...

Glad you got it going Chris. Don't forget to keep us up-to-date on the new exhaust set-up and also how the Cubex pellets are doing for you.

Keep warm!
