Hi All,
I have to say you all have been life savers when it came to our new pellet stove. (Timberwolf Tpi35) I do have a few questions though.. We got taken when we bought our new to us stove, (private seller) I don't think they ever cleaned it, the build up was horrifying, the auger motor gears were shattered in the casing, and it was covered in rust. We gave it a good cleaning, checked the wiring, bought a new auger motor and installed it.
I don't know much about pellet stoves so I was wondering if the flame is supposed to be huge when its starting up? we are current running it on the low setting, but when it starts up the flames are huge! they go down after a bit but I keep catching it with larger flames, they almost make a V shape, and I dont know if thats normal? there is no damper, and I don't know if they messed with the convection blower settings when they had it. it just seems like its less efficient for it to have such large flames while on low settings. I am going to check the door gasket later after it cools down. We tried to adjust the feed rate down thinking that might help, but im not sure if it actually did it, I'm just concerned where I have no point of reference for what its supposed to look like.. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.
