Hey guys.

I got an infrared thermometer and I am interested in tuning this stove to try to get the most out of my pellets. I still feel like I'm the only one complaining my stove isn't hot enough to even heat my living room unless it stays on 9-9.

I understand that Air on Temp needs to stay where it is.

How to I tune Fuel Feed and Burn Air? How much air is too little? Too much? How much fuel is too little? Too much?

Should I tune my stove on a heat setting of 1? 5? 9?

Thanks.
What does your fancy radar gun say the temperature of your stove is ?
 
Hi everyone I was wondering what I can do to slow down the consumption of pellets in my 25 pvdc..I'm going through a 40lb bag every12 - 14hrs and it's still mild here in Ontario advanced settings are 1 2 1 heat range 2 blower 5

Close up the opening alittle at the bottom of the hopper. It’s a sliding plate , you just need a philips screw driver. It adjusts the flow of pellets to the top auger

I have closed the restrictor plate up as far as I can...I checked the hopper before I left for work this morning and it was almost empty after only running for 8.5hrs

What mode are you in ?

what mode are you running in ? You should be in D mode for a PDVC as I understand. I know my PDV which runs in C mode sometimes switches modes to A or B and starts to dump fuel like crazy after a power failure. Just my 2 cents to check.

Yes I'm in mode d...I checked it the other day...maybe something is wrong with my board

Maybe, try contacting englander. I hear they are pretty good with Phone help. Or maybe the stove guy will chime in on this ?
