Feeling the Heat

I'm having issues with unburnt pellets in the bowl. It's been clogging up lately and not giving the heat it should. No fault lights. This is between the auger end and the front. Cleaned it out 3 days ago and has been running okay, but I checked this morning and found unburnt pellets in the pile on ashes. Am I losing my mind or is this normal? Also it's pushing burnt pellets over the pile of unburnt to the front of the pot and finishing combustion there.
 
6 and feed rate 3. This a continuation of the previous posts. I decided to start a new one. I've turned it down to 5 too see if it starts jamming up, seeing as it's warm enough today.

Eastern Embers. Get them right down the street at Homehardware.
That's what I've been using too since it was new back in Feb. This year I got two pallets delivered (70 x 2 bags). I really like them. This batch seems to have more dark ones. I think the extruder was not working 100%. I get them at Home Depot,but Home Hardware have them too. From what I understand they are made near the airport in NS.
