I have two burn pot liners, one stock, one modified (pics in old post) the modified one reduces my pellet spillage 90+%. I use each one for a 7 day period while my other one sits in some soap and water and then I scrape and exchange....With the stock liner, I get a lot of spillage, around 60 pellets+- in a 24 hour period. And that's in fan speed 3 and air trim in 2 or 3 and feed trim in 1. My mag is currently all set but before that I tried adjusting my slider from almost completely closed to almost wide open and that made no difference. I currently have the adjustable auger cover, guessing about 90% closed.....there is about an inch of the auger showing. My flame is brisk and tall and hot.....I do get a black glass pattern after 24-30 hours....even If I run with the damper wide open. The pellets fall in, they don't get blown out. I did post earlier that my VT softies seem much shorter in length this year and that could be the problem. I suppose I could just use my modified liner all the time...but I shouldn't have to. I guess I am jealous of the other stove owners who say they never get any pellets in their ash bin. Finally, the other day an M55 owner ( can't find the post) suggested getting rid of, or opening up the cover to allow the stove to run at its highest efficiency......Thanks, Bill
