I have a few questions and looking for any help, please
We have this stove, 13 years old. this year seems to be the worse its been for burning, Pellets are 1/2 burned and its a waste of money. I have taken it apart as best I can and cleaned, oiled, lubed what ever needed to be done. I cannot get the front spindel (Soaked with Penatrating oil, been years since it was taken off, so problery "welded" on now) off to effectivly clean out the burnpot 100%, those slits are cleaned as best as possible. IS there any cleaner I can spray into this that would break down any remain cresote that isn't chip-able.
Has anyone else been having "bad pellets" or is it just me..Some times I get ash, but mostly is half burnt pellets. The stove runs at 250 degree, but somehow the pellets are not burning through....and this is consistant with all brand of wood pellets, different manufactures and different places that they where purchased from, same results.
There's a Square ring above the burn pot with a large hole in it now. I have stuffed some of the cord for the seal on the doors into it to Limit there airflow for burning, but dosent seems to be helping any, NOW ive had this hole (About the size of a thumb) for a few years, and this is the first year pellets are not burning all the way. Its been cleaned a few times by "Professional", but being laid off for a year now, Im looking to save money as best as possible.
