does anyone else have an issue with the stove top auger stop feeding when you increase the heat setting to 8 or above? I’m wondering if I’m tripping my overheat sender since I did all the modes and the stove is kicking ass. Now for what I have done. Bottom holes plugged, burn plate holes enlarged , mode to C , exblaze pellets. Runs great on setting 7 but in this fridgit cold I wanted to turn it up
 
If you tripped the high limit the stove would shut down completely. How old are you augers? I cant run mine above 5 its just to warm in my office. But it will go there. Ive done all the mod’s also.

4 years but it runs fine up to 7 just can’t push it to 8. When it does it and I back it Dow to 7 the auger will start working again after a few seconds. Strange

Ssyko update on my issue. After more investigation my upper auger is working correctly. My problem seems to be my new load of ezblaze pellets that I started using. It seems that there burning up faster than the auger can feed them. Does anyone know of a way to increase the feed rate above heat 2? I already opened the hopper plate all the way.
