I have been observing the stove more closely the last two startups. I believe this maybe a convection fan problem.

Ok, then what I said earlier can apply:
Also if you took care of that convection blower does it allow oiling, did you oil it, and if you did what did you use?
It is possible that it needs to be oiled and that if you did oil it you only got enough oil into the bearings to last a little while. It is possible that the bearing were run dry, the recommended procedure in that case is to oil each bearing and hand turn the blower until it is running free, once it is free add two more drops to each bearing. This may or may not recover the blower as it is possible that the bearings are now shot.
What does your manual say about convection fan cleaning and oiling (remember a time span in the manual actually assumes normal use of the appliance not likely to be the same use you are making of it).

voltage pulse
a lot of pellet stove with control board and with just rheostats develop voltage pulse to the convection blower over time
this is from the circuit that controls the voltage wigs out and will pulse the voltage. sometimes it is just at one setting or the lower settings.

The repair guy came out on saturday.. of course there was no noise and hasn't been since. It seems to be running fine!
