This post is to report a similar issue with this model even with the newer control panel. It has the newest control panel not the old panel with the 3 - A B C buttons and still does the cycling. Sometimes the cycling is much more noticeable than other times,
This vide shows the cycling or pulse mode. It is not as noticeable but if you listen carefully you can hear the sound of it turning get louder and softer. Also the speed changing is barely visible.

I have a USSC/American Harvest 6500. The draft fan also continually pulses. I believe I van set it on manual and it won’t, but I just run it on auto. I have read where this is normal operation. Some have said once it gets to temp it will stop, but mine doesn’t. Others have said it should always pulse. That it is designed to do it and is supposed to give a better burn some how.

Either way, my 6500 burns well. Produces good heat and I don’t have any issues with incomplete burn or an over flowing burn pot.
