Oh man... the overfilling burn pot turned into a fire up the auger and into the hopper last night while we slept. (St. Croix Auburn; burning pellets) The stove shut down with a #2 light blinking (vacuum problem) and the hopper stuff smoldered until we got up this morning and stopped it. Now the entire inside of the stove is gummed up with sticky resin. We vaccuumed it out as much as we could and cleaned the plugged holes in the burn pot. Now the idea is to fire it up and hope all this stuff burns off. Does this sound right?
Incidentally, the stove did a good job containing the fire. It's smoky in here but not enough to set off the alarms until the hopper top was opened. I'm glad opening it didn't start a flash fire there... could have been bad
