Hoping someone might have some advice for me. I’m new to the forum and new to pellet stoves. I just bought a used enviro EF3 and installed it with new Selkirk chimney. Stove is generally in good shape. The previous owner put a new auger motor on it before he sold it. When I bought it I put a new plate and lower bushing in it. Had problems with the stove staying running more than 15 minutes but I bypassed the low limit and determined I need a new one. The real issue I’m having now is the auger jams up a couple times a day. I have to take a rod and poke it up the chute where it falls into the burn box. I work 13hours a day usually and can’t be around babysitting it when the auger jams. I’m burning fresh eastern ember pellets. Anyone know why the auger is jamming?

I think your message isn’t getting replies because it’s kind of lost in a specific section of this forum for wood burning stoves. You put in the right place for Enviro as a manufacturer, and I saw it because I peek in here every so often to see if there are Enviro posts. The problem is is that I know nothing about pellet stoves so can’t help you in the slightest.

There is a specific forum on this site called “The Pellet Mill.” There will be lots of people in that part who can help you troubleshoot. It is a very active forum, you‘ll be able to get some help. This message just got buried three subforums deep in a not very active place, so that’s why you’re not getting the responses here.

I hope this helps get you to a better place for getting help. Good luck.
