A bit new to the posting side of the site but have been reading long enough to start asking. This is my 3rd season burning my mt vernon, about to open the 10th ton. A few weeks back I noticed the auto clean feature was not always working. The stove runs in auto always and usually runs between med and m/l. The stove is turning on and off as usual except it is jumping past the clean cucle. This I have watched and takes some time. Additionally, I have read on this site in most cases the clean cycle is in the 2 hour range, where this stove has always ran in the 6 to 8 hour range. I have used Cubex for the first 2 years and this year changed to the clean fuel sold at my local Lowes. I had no issues with the first 2 tons this year and now this issue. In many cases the only way to "force" a clean is to unplug the stove but that is only going to lead to other problems.
Has this happened to other people or is this a unique problem.
