We have an Englander pellet stove about 6 yrs old. We've been using it the past few months, came with the house we bought. Recently, the ash is not going into the ash pan and there is a lot of build up in the stove which leads to frequent cleaning. We scrape the burn pot and clear all ash very couple of days. Anyone know why the ash is not going into the ash pan or has anyone had the same problem?

North American Pellets hardwood/softwood mix. When we first started running it, the ash was going in the ash pan. Not sure what happened, but now it's not.

It could very well be pellet related. Try a premium pellet. Not to be a pellet snob but that could very well be your issue.

North Americans are very ashy and it's a light fluffy ash... Plus North Americans burn on the cool side try a different pelt and see what happens.. I went threw a ton of North Americans I have a different stove than you, but the ash would not fall it would climb up the door and on the glass.. I think even a green supreme is a step up from them.
