Others will reply I am sure.
I think your lower settings should be 6-4-1.
My experience is you will not get 24 hours per bag unless your
Heat setting is 1.
My lower numbers are 3-6-1.
I can get 24 with heat on 1, as long as the pellets are not super short.
Even with those settings, short pellets will give me only about 20-21 hours.
Oh.. My hopper plate is wide open. I just keep it there out of laziness...
I know it may give longer times, if I close it a bit, I just want the heat to be there when
I want it..

What exactly is the 6-4-1 mean when broke down? meaning what does each # stand for ??And why is yours 3-6-1why the big difference??

OK. Real simply.
The first number is the low fuel feed rate.
That controls how much fuel is pushed into the burn pot.
Second one is the combustion air rate.
That controls how much air is pumped into (under) your fire..
The third is always #1. Don't mess with that one.

The 6-4-1 is the factory setting and probably is the best all around average setting
for the Average install. Probly will never go wrong with it.
Mine are different because I tinkered with the stove.. And those settings seem to
work well.... For me. Plus it is in some people's DNA to just mess with stuff..

Become very familiar with the manual.... Englander 25-PDVC is the same as your 55 shp10

The nice thing about our stoves is the ability to tune the feed and air rates. It's very helpful during the spring and fall to be able to tune the stoves down for warmer weather burning. Also helpful if you have a small or very well insulated house. Mine is very well insulated so I can trim my stove down to 1-4-1 and still never go above heat range 5. It sips pellets.
