I have a ravelli 100, sometimes at night my pellet stove turns off and on the display says no pelletts, yet the pelletts are filled more than half way. This has happened a couple times when leaving it running during the night.
 
Not familiar with your stove but this may indicate that pellets are not dropping from the hopper to the auger. Could they be bridging?
 
Bridging can happen with some pellets and or the hopper design not very good. Pellets not being the industry standard of around 3/4 inch but over 2 inches raise problems with flow.
