In this forum Pascal's sticky thread on internal settings worked for me for several years on the Sveva & Monia. Wood pellet's especially basic softwoods which the stoves were designed for have diminished in quality. I started burning good quality hardwood (CubeX & Barefoot) pellets in 2019 and continue to use them.

After several seasons of testing different pellet feed & combustion air settings, the burn pot no longer plugs up with ash & clinkers. The glass is cleaner and pellet consumption is down by 30%. With the previous settings, the stove consumes @ a temperature of 72 degrees 20Lbs. of fuel every 24 hours down from almost 30 Lbs. with the previous settings.

P-2 heat output is now equivalent to P-3 with the old settings but, with less pellets.

I will share this information at no charge with anyone that knows how to properly navigate the sub-menu settings of their stoves. If you are not somewhat technically proficient, I will forward to a pellet stove repair person.

I DO NOT look at this forum on a regular basis. Please email me; [email protected]

Happy New Year! Phil
