I'm contemplating my next "improvement" to my 25 EP.
I noticed that every time I clean my burn pot, a substantial amount of ash drops through the bottom air holes, blocking airflow to the bottom of the burn pot and not allowing air to push out spent pellets. My idea is to make a small plate that mounts between the burn pot and cradle, mounted on an angle in the hopes that it will direct airflow to the bottom of the burn pot and push spent pellets and ash out and hopefully increase efficiency. Doing this will render the side air holes almost useless, except for the holes near the ignitor. Any thoughts????
