Hello All,
I was talking to a gentleman that I work with and we got on the subject of soft wood pellets. He told me that he picked up some and was currently burning them in a pellet stove fire place insert. I'm not sure of the manufacture, but he told me he had to adjust the feed rate of the auger. I'm currently running my Harman P43 on feed rate 3.5 burning hardwood pellets. I was just looking for other peoples experiences burning softwood pellets. Thanks....
 
I have the same stove,burned softwood pellets since new.Just about the same time as yours,I run my feed rate at 4-room temp manual and this stove purrs like a kitten.Just keep it clean.
