Maxim 250 burning through a ton of pellets in a week. I replaced my wood boiler with the maxim so we were able to just sit the stove and plumb into existing. Everything worked fine with wood boiler. At first I was getting a lot of smoke in hopper. Added a third chimney section and that resolved the issue, but I am going through 320-400lbs of pellets in a24 hr period. We switched south the firestar with a new one. The fan speed does slow down a bit more now but no matter what adjustments I make it isn't changing how much fuel I'm burning. Need some help fast. $500 in fuel for 2 weeks is too much
Burning thru too much fuel!

Hey there and welcome to the forum,
This sub-section is more for pellet stoves, not pellet boilers. You'll probably get better help posting this at https://www.hearth.com/talk/forums/the-boiler-room-wood-boilers-and-furnaces.13/
