Ok. newbies here but have spent hours reading every single thread on us stove 6039 (and even 6041 since same control panel and this seems new.
Installed stove w horiz vent. Good Oak. Followed schoondog and scoops settings and made it thru central ohio 40 below windchill for couple days. Stayed up all night watching sucker since new to pellets. Grew up in Intl Falls Minn so used to wood. Until now have had NO furnace--only 2 Edenpures to heat 900 sq ft home so been bit chilly even for me! (Ardent protest against outrageous propane gouging 2 yrs ago so we r done. Ecstatic about pellet stove heat. Then started burning up all fuel in agitator and went out err 2 (low limit). Took everything apart inside except blowers (no replacement gaskets) and cleaned religiously. Still worked only hour then not enough pellets and agitator stopped. Black soot on glass. Replaced gasket on door. Worked better but then acted like not unloading enough pellets to get good burn. Turned to manual. Ran all hr settings. Reset all controls to test on every level. Would run auger manual by pushing on button but then agitator stopped and fire would go out unless sat there and held button all night.
In desperation ladt night to stay warmer than 48 degrees while working. I opened stove door. Ckeaned crappy pellets that seem bit long out of hopper and added fresh hardwood. Or so they say. .Dumped scoop of pellets in burnpot. Fire smothered so hubby pulled out manual damper. Fire ignited blew flame out the front damper. Made a large bang that blew soot right off inside of glass door and scared 10 years w big flames all around outtside of burnpot.
After sufficiently scolding hubby for new gray singed hairs.we both noticed fire was blazing like day one and we had BLESSED HEAT!!
First. We have adjusted manual damper but just burned faster-- cleaner window but fire went out eventually. No overfilling burnpots. . I wish
Two. What the heck would do BETTER after an explosion and raging fire in first place.
Three. Can feed rate be changed on6039 w more modern control panel.or is there something else we can test or bypass.. Hubby very handy mechanically w good tools so we want to keep it like u love an old chevy. And trusting this forum to steer us safely around quicksand traps! thanks!!
Ps A daily explosion is NOT an option but tired of cold
Four. Can feed rate be changed on newer
When stove first fired up on settings hr 3.
Rf 8, df 2, aux 1 and also on auto hr 2.
