Had a Winslow PI pellet stove installed about three weeks ago, don't run it everyday basically Thursday to Sunday night. Have noticed a white residue on the back walls (started around the hole where the pellets drop into the burn pot and has expanded) also on the heat exchanger. Wondering what this is and if it is a sign of danger or something I should worry about.

White powder on the walls and heat exchanger is good. your stove is running fine no worries Most pellet burners look for this showing a clean burn

CORRECT....
Whitish Ash is good burning sign...or good pellets... or both..
 
White ash = the happy dance.
