My boiler has a smaller auger that drops pellets down a pipe to where they are burnt. I have found that if the flue temperature hasn't reached set point it keeps running pellets continually.
This causes a problem as it can't burn them fast enough and eventually backs up the pipe and the auger trips on overload.
Any thoughts appreciated.
