Yesterday I switched to powerhouse pellets by themselves, and Now I have what looks like charcoal briquetts in the burnpot. The agitator seems to push them out eventually. Is this the result of a poor quality pellet, and is there anything you can do to avoid this. When I burn Lignetics I never had this problem, this is a first for me. No big deal the stove is still rolling.
 
These are called clinkers. Basically, it's a byproduct of a cheap pellet. These form from impurities in the wood mostly.
