Hey everyone,new here to the forums and pellet stoves.Got a couple questions/concerns on my new money saver.
First it is awesome,absolutely cooks us out of the house.Just a couple things that has me bothered.Ive read threw the forums and found alot of help and just want to see if im on the right path in correcting/tweeking the stove.
Im using Energex Premium hard wood pellets ,from which ive been told by friends that use them,that they are good and pretty clean burning.Heres where concerns start.
1.Im useing a 40lb bag on setting1/2 in about 13 hours,and everything i read points me to a bag should last from like 16-24 hours.Im sure the type and quality of pellet has some to do with the times here as well.
2.My burn pot builds up alot of ashes,in like 12 hours there will be a pile that fills up half of the burn pot with black and unburned ashes and pellets.2 things come to my mind here and correct me if im wrong.It would seem logical to me that either its feeding to many pellets to fast or not getting enough air.My factory setting where 6 Low fuel feed,4 Low burn air and 1 Air on temp.After reading a few post with similar issues i took the Low fuel feed down to 5 and the Low burn air up to 5 and left Air on temp aloan on 1.At the moment it seems to be doing a whole lot better.will post later to let ya know how long a bag went.I always leave the unit on 1 feed and 2 or 3 blower,if not the paint on the walss i think will start bubbleing,lolj/k.
My only other concern and i think i know what it is but not sure.Every once in a while ill hear a little dull clunk like noice.Im not sure but could this be a pellet getting basically chopped in the top auger wehn it feeds from the hopper ?
Other than these little quirks everything else is great.Let me know what ya think and if i should put the setings back to factory or do something different,or if im wrong and the way it was burning is the way its suppose to be.
thnx for the help
