I have burned through two tons of Energex earlier on this season and Bought a ton of Okie Black Hills. They were a bit more, but they burn real hot. I like everything about them except the fact they seem to bridge in the hopper quite a bit. I have found that sometimes it happens twice in a 24 hour period. Basically what I wake up to in the morning is a stove that is out. I pop it in test mode and auger turns, but no pellets feed. I cleaned the fines trap door,and vacume out hopper.Even when its clean I still wake up to a cold stove. I think the pellets are causing the slide plate to get stuck. Has anyone else had issues with these pellets. I have never had this happen with any other brand. I am almost thinking of going to buy a couple bags of something cheap to try and see if it happens with other pellets. Burning an Accentra Insert. Has Anyone had a similar issue, or am I missing something here?
