Hi everyone,
I have had a Quadrafire Castile free standing pellet stove for two seasons now. I am pretty dilligent with my cleaning and am overall very happy with the stove. I have a question about something the stove does, and I don't know if I have a problem or if I am doing something wrong...Here's what happens - occasionally (and I stress "occasionally") the stove will feed pellets into the firepot until it is full to the top with pellets. To this point it has only happened after I shut the stove down to clean it and then start it back up. The stove has not lit on these occasions, and I simply scoop the pellets out of the firepot, hit the reset and then the stove works fine. To clean out the pot I just shut the thermostat down and let the stove cool. I then raise and lower the thermostat rapidly to start the exhaust fan while cleaning. Then i set the thermostat back to where I want it to run the stove. I am a little worried about what could happen if this feed problem happens while the stove is already burning and nobody is home.
Like I said earlier, to this point it has only happened a few times.
Thank You
