US Stove 5500m burning right??

[ryan gillespie]

I am new to the whole pellet stove game... just installed the US Stove 5500m.. 3 in adapter from the stove, 1 ft pipe out the wall... T clean out connection.. 1 ft pipe up, 90 degree adapter, end cap... it seems to be burning well... my house used to stay at 50 degrees since the price of oil is so high... since I installed the stove 2 days ago ive been at 75 degrees plus... on the lowest setting... my viewing glass pretty much goes black after 6 hours of burning... i did not install an OAK but my house was built in the 1850's so im sure its getting enough air...if you look at my windows wrong they break...literally... I can see through my front door if a light is on...I'm burning green supreme pellets, putting my 2nd bag through. The ash has been minimal but my glass is filthy in the morning. Any thoughts? I have a ton of fireside ultras in my garage... I'm going to burn them obviously but has anyone had better results with those then the green supremes??

watch my youtube video on my stove burning on level 2... I'm more curious on how its burning if it looks good to everyone or what I should adjust to make it burn better....

here is the video:

Looks about right to me. That stove has that re-occuring little surge of air. I have mine in a insulated pole barn (shop). I initially installed without an OAK, but found it to perform much better with one. Mine doesnt like to run on "low" very much. Glass gets dirty in a hurry.

Looks fine,.. the combustion fans on these are intermittent to control stove temps, been working quite well on mine so far

Just my two cents but the stove looks like is burning rich( too much draft). If I had to assume you're running the stove in full auto? Meaning auto draft and auto room fan? If you are you can turn the draft down to probably a 4 and your glass should stay a bit cleaner longer.

My stove can normally go 24-30 hrs before i can't see much flame and i'm burning stove chow. I also changed my feed rate and draft levels which could have more to do with it.
