I have a New Englander pellet stove, 55-SHP22. I am having issues with an inconsistent flame. Flame goes from 6-8 inches down to nothing but glowing coals and back up to 6-8 inches again. It sometimes has a green flame as well. I tried the 6-4-1 , 5-4-1, and 4-6-1 settings, vacuumed the stove as instructed by the manual and still am having these issues. Anyone have any ideas on how to correct this situation. Thank you

I know nothing about your stove, but it sounds like it is getting up to the temp set, then going to idle until the next call for heat. If that particular stove doesn't have that mode, just ignore me 
No I am not using a thermostat, the stove did not come equipped with one but one can be added.
Either a leak in the vac line or the Allen key auger set screws are loose on the upper auger. I'm assuming it's not a new stove?
