I have a breckwell big e I bought used. It runs great and i have vleaned the beajezus out of it but after 2 days on 1 or 2 the pellets start to back up. On 3 or 4 they back up to the point of clogging the chute. Ive looked inside and I do have the bafgle plates installed, could that be causing the back ip? Can I remove them? I have the stove coming right through the wall with one of the chkmney kits from lowes. Any ideas on how to make this stop happening?
2006 Breckwell Big E backing up HELP!

What pellets are you using and did you clean behind small doors.Yes you can remove baffle plates l would try removing one first probably left side and check your feed rate hope this helps.if you do not have owners manual you can go on line and print one. I would try another pellet and see if it's better you should stir pot once a day or remove some ash with lower grade pellets.
Yea I cleaned out behind the doors and up inside where the baffle plates are. Do the plates restrict airflow?
Yes they slow the airflow going out the exhaust to fast. I have 2006 big E and mine did not have baffle plates and my flame was leaning to the right so I made baffle plates and installed the one on right side and flame straightened up.
What pellets you burning? When I burnt cheaper pellets they did seem to fill up burn pot and not burn completely burning penwood pellets now and can burn couple days without cleaning or stirring burn pot.
