Welcome to the forum! How old is the stove? When was the last good cleaning of the venting and internal exhaust pathways? Good gaskets on door?
Not sure how many use the amaizablaze but know we have some members that burn corn so may be able to give you some advice...
PS ... Sounds like it may not be getting enough combustion air for the feed rate, OAK (outside air kit)?

Thanks for the response just gave it a cleaning tonight and not sure on the age of the stove but it has new seals last year and I was wondering if they made a kit like that or if I would have to build my own thanks again

A few dealers that are listed for Nebraska, might be able to help you.

Not sure if the 7100 uses the same combustion air setup as my 4100 but pretty sure it does. On the 4100 there is a combustion air damper plate right behind the burn pot. There is a 1/4" allen head bolt accessible from the side or rear of the stove to adjust it. My stove works best at 3 turns out from closed. If this is how yor stove is set up post back up and I'll let you know my contraption for adjusting this externally the way it should have been.
Ok did a quick google search and the 2100-4100 and 7100 are all set up the same. I found pics of 2100 and 7100 but none for the 4100. The 7100 is accessable through the rear of the stove behind burn pot and is the only bolt visable. With the burn pot off you will be able to see the damper plate through the combustion air hole. My adjuster bolt was rusted fast when i got my stove. Lube the adjuster bolt up fron the rear of stove and work it back and forth until you can get full close and about 8-10 full turns out. Even on a feed rate of 10 my srove works best at 3-1/2 turns out.
Now I'll try and post a link for people to see a pic of the adjuster since i couldnt figure out how to post a pic. If link works and somebody can post the pics for others to find on here when they search that'd be great.https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...ggjMAI&usg=AFQjCNGMXFdDRMkkPr-HcddTMwEPlITJMA
