THE OTHER AT 8-MIN. AUGER OFF....THIRD TIMER OPERATES BLOWER, AUGER FEED ON, TRIPS TIMER THAT RUNS BLOWER FOR 14-MIN...SEEMS TO WORK GREAT, FOR MORE HEAT INCREASE AUGER SPEED BY INCREASING AUGER RUN TIME, OVERRIDE TIMER, FOR MORE BLOWER TIME, WHICH THEN GOES TO WALL THERMOSTAT...SHUT DOWN TIMERS AUGER STOPS FIRE GOES OUT...IS THERE ANY POSSIBLE WAY WHEN AUGER IS SHUT DOWN..THAT FIRE GOES PAST AUGER AND INTO PELLET STORAGE?
 
i believe your cap locks key is stuck on.... or your shift key...either one...
 
Yes, if the seal under the hopper is cracked. My hopper caught fire last year because the seal was allowing air in through the seal under the hopper. Pellets burned back through auger into hopper. If stove was on high it probably wouldn't have happened. I try not to run stove too low now and resealed with Hi-Temp Silicone.
