A friend calls them "clinckers." I call them a pain.

I have a Quadrafire Mt Vernon. I just switched to a different pellet because that's what the Agway had and I was down to my last eight bags.

Now, the pellets don't burn as well as the others. They often pile up in the firepot and then it moves into a shutdown/autoclean mode to dumpthis hard ash into the bin. Before, I had low quantity of powdery ash. Now I have lots of hard ash or clinckers.

The manual suggested changing my feed rate, but it didn't say how to. It also suggested changing the feed type from hard wood pellet to utility pellet.

Does anyone have any advise or experience with this, please?

Thanks!
