Ok, I have totally cleaned my 2003 PDVC Englander stove by taking both blowers off (after doinf leaf blower trick) and replaced both gaskets . I also replaced door gasket as well as the hopper gasket. It just does not seem to be heating all that hot. It must be the pellets (PAPELLETS) that I have....I cannot thing of anything else....other years it heated very well..but this year it does not. How hot should the blower air be? I can put my hand 1" away from where it comes out of the stove and keep it there forever. I am open to all comments and suggestions? Thanks guys!
 
PA Pellets arent so great. I would go buy a pellet that, after searching this forum, has a reputation for being good quality. Try a few bags and see if you notice a difference.
 
any chance you've been exposed to cosmic radiation that could have given you super human ability to tolerate heat? if not, then I'm with Frank. ;-)
 
Is your blankety blank impingement plate in place correctly?

What settings are you running it at?
 
My vote is for the cosmic radiation....
