I have an eco-45 by drolet - I know there doesn't appear to be too many others with this stove unfortunately,but I noticed from the very beginning that the draft control lacked any fine adjustment and for the most part,seemed to have way too much draft.I reasoned that with a short run of pellet pipe into a new stainless lined chimney might be the reason.
Well mistakes can be the mother of invention because I just cleaned the stove and forgot to put the ash plug back in -it plugs a hole that leads to the ash pan below.Now I have total control over the fire-especially on the low setting where I could never get much of a flame. Now I 'm pretty sure that its not supposed to be run this way and theres no mention in the owners manual about this-do you suppose maybe it should be left out and I'm just a dummy? I'm trying it out to see how it performs.We've gone thru 60 bags of pellets so far-I was hoping for less-maybe this discovery will cut that a bit. pete
