Second season using my Advance2 and two months into it I am getting smoke in the hopper. No issues last year and same pennington Natures Heat pellets. When it's 3/4 to full of pellets it is hard to see but when the lid id open it smells like smoke. 1/2 full to next to empty it is so bad that smoke detectors go off when the lid is open for more than 30 seconds. Dealer had me clean it again and try different pellets, did it with same results. flue goes 2 feet then outside building to a tee then 6 feet up with a jet cap, all cleaned to a mirror right to the stoves' comb. blower. Hopper is sealed at all fold joints and I siliconed where it sits on the feed box. I notice the slide plate has cresote on the front edge where it never did before.
Well the dealers tech is on vacation so I called Harmon and they said it needs a new feeder weldment box with a modification the dealer will do to the box. He would not tell me the apparently top secret "mod" the dealer will do. Called the dealer and he is ordering the feeder weldment box.
Anyone have this happen?
Thanks
