Feeling the Heat
I have a 25 PDVC and I have tried this mod. It certainly did make a difference in the way my stove is burning the pellets. The pellets I'm burning right now are from Tractor Supply and are hard wood. The pellets are making a complete burn. I have not had to scrape the ash out of the burn pot in the past 24 hours as the ash is being blown out of the burn pot. My pellet consumption has dropped considerable in the last 24 hours. Presently I,m running my lower numbers at 1-5-1 and my uppers at 1-7. My stove is kicking heat out like it never has.
Lower settings 1-5-1?? Older PDVC? Holy Sh*t! Nonetheless that's great results! This morning I checked the mode and found it to be in "a" when in fact it should have been in "d". Anyway, I switched it to "d" and lowered my bottom settings to 5-4-1. It's burning now just fine and definitely not cooking us like last night. I will definitely be playing with low burn feed a tad. A quick adjustment to the hopper lid made a better burn too!! **Update** Ok, well after tinkering a bit more last night I ended going with 4-4-1 and I may drop the LBF more eventually. Either way it's a nice added treat to my basement family room.
