Feeling the Heat

Ive been around pellet stoves for 20 plus years. Started with an Earth stove. Bought a new Serenity...just trying to get a feel for it. So far, pretty nice. On initial test it started up easily....active burn pot. Havent hooked up an OAK yet, but plan to, so I dont want to make too many adjustments just yet. Had it running yesterday on "temp" mode....very mild weather. Checked it last evening ( its in the basement) very lazy yellow flame. Lots of soot on the glass. Pulling almost no air through the intake.
I know the instructions say to....but do you need to empty the burn pot everyday. Seemed pretty full and packed. Burning Somersets, which do fine in my P43.
Thanks in advance.
 
I dont remove mine daily, but I do take a screw driver and rake over the holes in the burn pot before each start up. About once a season when doing a full cleaning, I will take the burn pot out and use a drill bit that just fits one of the side holes and clean out all of the holes in the burn pot. They tend to "carbon" up after a couple dozen bags. I have also taken a countersink bit and chamfered the holes. So far, so good. Only time I get a lazy flame is in my south facing stove when the wind blows and causes issues with the exhaust outlet.

Ok thanks. I guess my p43 has me spoiled. I'll sometimes go 2 weeks without cleaning the burnpot or shutting down.
 
If your getting build up in the pot to the point it starts blocking the air holes just pop the door open and quickly give the pot a scraping, no need to shut the stove down. Pellets your burning will dictate how often you have to scrape the pot.
