Hello everyone,
I have a few questions that I wasn't fully able to find the answers to searching the forum. (Sorry if any repeats)
This will be my first winter with my Enviro Mini and when I purchased it I decided I would stalk up with some of the dealers recommend pellets. These pellets are the ones they bring out on service calls to rule out bad pellets that are causing burn issues, so I figured it would be a good place to start.
So one of my questions is what should the consistency of a bag of pellets normally look like? Meaning my pellets (at least the first two bags) are pretty fragmented a lot of small pieces. I attached the picture to see if someone could give me and answer if this is the norm, or not.
I think the small pieces are causing issues when the auger turns and nothing falls in the pot (which I know is normal?) Then it turns and this time only small fragments fall in, or a lot falls in and it sounds like I hit the jackpot on the slots I think this is causing some burn issues, fire going out, trouble dialing in the damper settings and pellets seem to burn unevenly. Pellets will pile up on either the left or right side while the opposite side burns, then the side burning will slowly move across to the other side then I have a full on blaze for 5 minutes then it dies down and starts a new with the pellets piling up on one side.
Again first winter/weeks with the stove some if not all of this might be normal just want a possible confirmation
Thanks!
