Hi,
I have been in the forums for a long time. First as just a looker then I decided to sign up. Up til now I have mostly
posted in the wood stove section. Ive burned wood all my life. I decided this year to get a pellet stove. I bought a used USSC 6039. I have been having
problems keeping it going, and getting out good heat. Here is what I can tell you.
It has the newer controller. The stove might be 3-4 years old or less.
On settings under 5 it will eventually run out of pellets and give me an error 2. Heat at best on the heat exchanger has
been 120 deg. On setting 9 I can get 140 deg out, and it would at least keep up with pellets in the pot.
Last night I came home, the pellet pot was full, so I shut down to setting 5. I let it run out of pellets and checked the
auger to make sure it was seated.
On setting 9 I can get over 16 hrs on a hopper and still have some in it.
I also checked the factory settings on the controller and even reset it a couple days ago. I have 2 and 6 on feed rates
when i scroll through the factory settings. I can watch the auger at 9 and every second or so after it feeds pellets it
turns for a bit to feed more pellets in. The manual setting and automatic settings seem to change when you make
adjustments.
I have also played with the manual draft and checked to make sure the clean outs were clean.
Overall it seems the feed rate is not right. I have the draft set from .75 to 1.25". I am using Uncle Ethan pellets. Any Ideas?
