Pro pellets are giid pellets. Does this stove have trap doors to remove and clean out ash? Have you tried leaf blower trick on it yet to remove hidden ash? It's very effective in stoves that have hard to reach cavities, youtube it for how to.
The unit has two removable doors. Not used a leave blower on unit it's self. I used one to blow out chimney pipe when I disassembled it over weekend. Blower motor was removed and it was some what dirty but nothing was real alarming.
