I am new to pellet stoves but have learned alot this shoulder season so far but bare with me! A couple questions I have are can I open the door while the stove is running to scrape the burn pot after a few days of constant burning. Also with burning pellets do I need to leave the fuel stirrer in the burn pot or can I get rid of it? I ask because it seams to bind up every couple of rotations and the burn pot jumps is there a fix to this?
