I have a Ravelli Roma pellet stove which is 1 year old. Last year I didn't have any problems but this year every time it goes to start up it fills with smoke and the combustion is so strong it shakes the stove and releases smoke into the room. Sometimes the combustion causes the baffle to fall out of place and hit the glass on the door. What could be causing all the smoke buildup in the combustion chamber and how do I fix it?
 
Are you using a different brand of pellets? When was the stovel thoroughly cleaned? Sounds like it s needing more airflow.

I thoroughly clean the stove every day or every other day, the same as I did last year.
I am using different pellets from last year though. Last year I used the okanagan platinum. This year I am burning EasyBlaze super premium.
