Hi everyone! New pellet stove insert owner over here. I'm still trying to adjust and get all my settings right, but there is one thing that is really getting on my nerves.
The GFI55 advertises that it holds 55lb of pellets in the hopper (which is great since bags are 40lbs). However when I initially filled it up, it barely fit a full 40lb bag. I pushed and moved all the pellets towards the back to ensure I was fully loaded.
It's a pain since I didn't want to leave half or quarter filled bags hanging out by the atoce. That's one of the reasons I got the 55.
Any input? Am I over thinking this and is this just normal? What schedule does everyone else follow?
I have 40lb bags of Blackstone pellets:
<1% ash
8,000 btu/lb
<.05% fines
<6% moisture
Thanks in advance.
