Does Letting a Stove Run Out of Pellets Cause Any Problems

[Sawduster]

I'm still very new at burning pellets, and need to leave for a couple of days. Will it hurt anything if I let my stove (P61A) run out of pellets while I'm away. I have oil heat that would then kick on.

I wouldn't think so. Just be using electricity for nothing.

Won't the stove simply go off after fire goes out and it cools to off level??

Main thing is no pellets + no heat. The stove should shut all the way down once it cools.
That is what the back up is for (oil).

Guess it depends on what stove you have. Mine shuts down if there is no fire.

In the Harman owners manual it suggests running out of fuel is the best way to shut off stove. Also if there is no fuel you can take a look at augers, bin, etc.
