Weird, my stove is acting up again...........
I've been fighting with it for about a month. I can't run the stove for more than 24 hours on setting 1, 12 on setting2. forget 3/4/5.
The burn pot just fills up and ends up over flowing into the ash pan causing a massive fire (my entire ash pan catches due to raw fuel being in it.
I'm using quality pellets... oakies and cubex. both do the same thing.
I cleaned the ENTIRE stove AGAIN yesterday, including the pipe. fired it on at 7pm and by noon today there were several cups of raw pellets in the ash pan and the burn pot was full running on setting 2.
to the best of my knowledge, my stove does NOT have an air adjuster.

The manual says it does, but it simply is NOT there on my stove. I had a friend come over and look for it as well, and he couldn't find it either (he also burns). The graphic is lame at best and i have nothing that looks anything like that on my stove.
I know something is wrong, because just start up completely fogs my glass over with smog and within an hour, the top is black. 12 hours later, you can barely see in it.
Flames are VERY high. At start up, they go all the way up. On setting 1, they are half way up the back wall of the stove.
I checked the roof and snow is not blocking the exhaust vent pipe.
According tot he manual, I need more combustion air. I do not have an outside air kit, but am using 4" pipe to go up my chineny 1 full story, and about 1/2 story for the roof pitch to where the chimmeny comes out.
So, what do you guys think? I need more air, right?
