Any thoughts, pros or cons to raising the air intake shield in the back of the ash pan on an AE, I do not have an OAK. I just did thorough cleaning and while vacuuming area decided to raise it a 1/4 inch to see if burn is affected @ all. Too early for me to tell stove is just coming to temp. HAs anyone tried this before for those hard to burn dense pellets. I have burned Barefoots on corn this season (due to clinker issues for 1st time) and was happy with results but did not care for extended time ignitor was on. Will this allow more air to flow into fire pot. Cant see it doing any harm to stove. Your thoughts, ideas, suggestions, would be appreciated. I Will update later with findings.
