Pops, I have the same stove. I can see this same issue if my intake air damper is closed down too much. You need good airflow to burn the pellets. How long has the stove been used? Could it be dirty? How about the pellets? Could they be damp?

I know that for the pellets to burn, they need air. That's what the combustion blower does. Turn the blower off, and the pellets go out. Restrict the air and they burn slower. It has to be something with the airflow. Could the blower itself be dirty? I've seen pictures on this site of some very dirty squirrel cages.
