So looking at my stove and getting ready for winter. A lot of rust inside and a tad on the heat fins outside..is this normal?

Will post pics later if needed.

It's because of the humidity. It just sits inside rusting it. A container of Damp-Rid in the combustion chamber when you close the stove up will help with this.

A shot of penetrating oil or fogging oil after last firing-cleaning will go a long way too

 

[John Fortier]

So this is common and nothing to worry about? Take steps to prevent it?

Yes, can be worse with some fuels too.

Is there a book.."Pellet Stove for Dummies" ?

Yes. Around here it's referred to as the Hearth.com forums.

 

[Bioburner]

Chapter 1, verse 1, go to, "The pellet mill" Pellet stoves are a fast changing dynamic and hard to put a solid note on how to.

As suggested, penetrating oil and / or Damp-Rid.

Yes, It's common.
