I bought a used Englander 25-pdvc/55shp10. I replaced convection blower,vacuum switches an 1 auger motor. Stove is running good an no error codes come up but left side of stove around exhaust blower is getting very hot an it's making the hopper get real hot inside. Is this normal or do I have some thing wrong. Any advice would be appriciated.

The left side as you are facing the stove will be hotter than the right. My pellets do get warm inside the hopper on that side as well.. but never hot enough to worry about anything.
Ok. Thank you. I've had a wood stove in this garage for 8 years now an we jus recently went to pellet stove. In jus not up on how everything works an what is normal. I appriciate your feedback.

I placed a floor fan on that side of the stove for that exact issue. Much
better now and the hopper stays cooler.

Do you use a magnetic stove thermometer to do that? I don't have one. Was jus wandering what is best to buy. I know Harbor Freight sells a thermometer gun or whatever u call it.
