Good morning!

Last night I changed our stove from mode C to mode D (4-6-1) to save pellets, and it seems to be doing very well on that front. However, it seems like the stove metal is constantly expanding and contracting now with creaks and clicks as the fire increases and decreases on heat settings 1-2. Is this thing going to work itself apart over time?

Best,

Nathan
