I'm a psychologist and writer.

Interesting that so many here are of the technical, engineering variety. Is that reflective of the pellet stove owning universe in general, or of the universe of owners who also want to yak about the stoves they own?
I would guess that the answer is that those of us who are techies look upon a pellet stove as a technical device just crying out for attention and improvement. Can't you hear the crying??? I can! Ooops, forgot you're a psychologist...... :)

I am unwillingly retired from working for the incompetent to do the unnecessary for the ungrateful. I did so much for so long with so little, I was qualified to do just about anything with nothing.

Pellet and wood stove enthusiastic since 2009, after moving from CA to MA, 2008 ice storm gave us a nice welcome, 5 days with no power, no heat, no generator, and no water at home, 14 days total with no UNITIL power.
