Great forum here. I'm new to pellet stoves and we just had a Harman Accentra 52i insert installed last week. Temps here have been in the 40s so I have been running the stove in Constant Burn mode at the lowest setting, which is 1.0. The max is 7.0.
I'm a bit surprised that the stove is consuming about a bag of pellets a day at this setting. I'm using Barefoot pellets which come well recommended here. Also, the fire is not consistent. It gets bigger and smaller repeatedly. Almost like the stove is trying to compensate for something but not finding a balance.
Last night I tried turning the feed rate down from 65% (the default) to 55%. Doesn't seem to be making much difference, other than the fire is further back in the "throat" of the burn pot now, and there is somewhat less ash.
Any ideas? If this thing burns a bag a day on low, I fear what January & February will have in store. The house is comfortable (1,700 square feet on 2 floors), so at least there's that.
