THE ROOSTER

Feeling the Heat
Hearth Supporter
got up this morning to an outside temp of 25*F, so I put stove on room temp set at 70*F, actual temp in the room was 67*F,once it lit it just started feeding pellets overflowing into the ash pan. I have an OAK on the stove & it was very cool to the touch before lighting.
Do you think it just started feeding and pushed most of the burning pellets out of the firebox trying to reach the set temp I selected?
 
Was the pot already full of pellets? If so, the stove did not know that it already had some. Sounds like you started it up this AM? If it isn't pushing any out once it is up and running then don't worry.

Might be just what happened.
 
Yes, I just started it this morning. Once I turned the stove on, I went to make a pot of coffee, so not sure if the igniter took longer than normal to light causing more pellets to be added. But the fire was on both sides with unturned pellets in the center falling into ash pan.
Stove is working fine now, probably a fluke.

Or possibly a Flounder. . . . .
