I bought a new pellet insert last year, a Lopi AGP. I wanted to see if any rust was forming on the heat exchange tubes in the off season, so I removed the baffles and there was rust. My previous stove did the same exact thing over the summer when it sat for a while. Usually after the stove ran a bit the rust must have burnt off or got scraped off when I cleaned the tubes.
So does this happen with anyone else? ANythign I can do to prevent this? Paint the tubes??? I don't think this is a problem and never has been before. My insert is downstairs in a finished basement so it is a bit "damp" down there(not really any worse then the rest of the house).
