I just installed the same stove last night. One thing I did was take one of those soft sanding pads and go over the entire hopper bottom and sides. I then gave it a good vaccuming and a wipe down with armorall spray wax. They slide like grease lightning once you get the rough surface which they leave on it when it is shipped. This is an example of how they are able to keep the price reasonable on these stoves. Make sure the fines are @ a minium with your pellets the rough surface as well as the fines are the culprit. I had also had the same problem with my pelpro insert and doing the above solved that one also.
