Video on basic pellet stove info. for newbies and people that want to learn about pellet stoves

[doublewide]

I put a 2 part video on youtube for anyone looking to learn a little bit about pellet stoves. It might shed some light for those of you that don't know a whole lot about pellet stoves. What can I say, my wife bought me a new camera, so I need to film something. Enjoy!

the only thing i'd defer with your comments is about the dust.....yes there's way much more dust in the room environment when the stove is in use in the burning season...heck talk to my wife and she'll tell ya....lol

Hi doublewide,
nice videos,nice stove,nice flame. the addresses did work as links.
Liked your electronic IR thermometer that you checked the exhaust temp with.
I thought that pellet stoves had a thermal cutoff switch in the exhaust , that would cut out at 200F ?
Anyway, great looking basement, is it ok to had a drawer chest that close to edge of your stove ?

The switch thats on the exhaust is the Proof Of Fire(POF) switch. This switch lets the stoves control know there is fire happening in the stove. The High Limit switch is mounted to the stove body. This gaurds the stove against over fire and if the convection blower cuts out. The exhaust temps can be higher than the rating on the stoves high limit switch. Just FYI.

Thanks for the info Jay, I'm still learning, and this forum is helping. My wife wants the cabinet moved up to her closet, so I will be getting that out of the way soon. I'm still sore from moving a ton a pellets myself yesterday, so I will be waiting for my bother-in-law to help me. I use the IR thermometer to check the temp. at the exhaust and I check at the same spot each time I check it out. How do you get your temp. reading for the pellets you test. I know most of your readings are around 250* is that from a certain spot on the stove?

I have been measuring the air off the convection blower. I measure just the heated air from the blower, Not the stove temp itself. But it doesn't matter as long as you measure it the same way each time. One thing I have learned is that you want to keep the stoves exhaust as low as you can and the convection temp as high as you can. This keeps the stove burning the most efficient

My stove is a beast and eats alot of pellets. That why you see high convection temps.
