Tried to run a test burn yesterday. Stove would not feed pellets.
I found that the slot in the slide pate was not lined up with the pusher arm.
May have happened when I cleaned the hopper last Spring.
I did move the slide from the hopper side.
Will not do that again!
Anyway, 38 this AM and 67 downstairs. So had to make coffee and run the stove!
New conrol board has a change in the program. On a cold start, it now feeds the pellets
just to the 1st row of air holes and stops. It then bumps the auger every 30sec or
so until the fire/temp is high enought then feeds normally. Pretty slick!!
So coffee is good, heat is good and life is good!
