Last year the stove worked just fine with no problems. This year I change the herringbone brick. When I started the stove up I notice the exhaust fan would cycle on and off at start until it hit the right temp. I never notice this before is this normal? I had some old pellets from last year still in the stove and I use them first. The flame looks to be very lazy no matter what I did. I even change the pellets to new one and still the same thing. The ash pot is clean too. Any suggestions?

I notice the ash pot fills up with pellets too
 
might be an air flow issue. How is it vented? Do you have an OAK installed....pictures always help
 
Thanks all for the information and I have the problem. An animal make a nest in the stove pipe. LOL
 
What is your cleaning routine for the venting and internal smoke chambers? Have you checked the clean-out port doors to ensure they are tight?
 
Does your termination cap have a screen? If not, time to invest in a new one! Nature at it's best ... another forum member had his board short due to a spiders nest!!!
