Long time reader. First time poster.
First thing first thank you all for the information on this site its amazing welth of knowlage.
Ok i got a pdv-25 this fall. Plugged it in runs great. I love it.
But like alot on this board i get overflowing with unburnt glowing red pellets and clinkers. When i started really running the stove in the last month. Not loving the stove. Infact makin me very nervous
It worryed me so i did my online research. Stove on all sorts of diffrent settings. Checked my plumbing. Checked my gaskets. Changed pellets. Nothing would fix this.
So i decided to go to store and get some grade 00 steel wool and plugged BOTH holes UNDER the burn plate. 2 nights in and not only is my unburnt pellet problem over its burning so hot compaired to before. Burn pot has very nicly burned ash. Strong flame. Immediately love this stove again. Runing my stove on 2 5 with the factory 6 4 1 and its like running on 7 9 heat wise ( at least it seems) before steel wool.
So i guess my question is it bad to have both holes plugged under the burn plate. Is it forcing too much air that could cause complications later on. Any saftey concerns. This being my first pellet stove im still nervous in my first year running it all day and night while at work/sleep
