Around 5 minutes to see any difference in flame height and more like 15 - 20 minutes for stove to reach max temperature for the set heat range. Does you stove go from 1-5 or 1-9 heat range. With the jumper removed , If 1-5 set it on 4 if 1-9 set it on 5-7 if the flame burns only at a idle the thermostat circuit is working. Look for the blinking dash between heat range letter and number means stove is ramping.
Mine goes 1-5. The stove doesn’t seem to recognize the jumper being removed. When I remove the jumper and don’t have anything hooked to the thermostat leads it still acts like the jumper is still there because when I adjust the heat setting up to anything over 1 it will stay on that setting and not return to 1.. also think I have an auger problem, when I turn it up the auger seems to run more but there are a lot of runs where little to no pellets come out. So I guess I’ll be pulling it back out

Auger sounds right, sometimes a lot drops some times a little if you watch long enough you might even see it drop nothing. It depends a lot on length of pellets 1/4 inch pellets drop more often the 1 inch pellet.
Does the dash blink when the jumper is not in place?

Setting won't change but the dash blinks as in the above GIF.
Should also check feed rates using C codes. C2 and C3 2 should be 2.00 and 3 5.00. Never no previous owner could have changed them
ADJUSTING OPERATIONAL CONSTANTS
TO ADJUST THE OPERATION CONSTANTS, PRESS & HOLD THE “MODE” AND “AUGER DELAY”
BUTTONS SIMUTANEOUSLY FOR 3 SECONDS. THE DISPLAY WILL SHOW “C-1”. USE THE HEAT
RANGE UP OR HEAT RANGE DOWN BUTTONS TO CHANGE THE CONSTANT NUMBER (SEE THE
LIST OF VALUES BELOW). WHEN THE DESIRED CONSTANT IS DISPLAYED, PRESS THE “ON”
BUTTON UP, TOGGLING BETWEEN VIEWING AND EDITING THE VALUE. WHILE EDITING A
PARAMETER, USE THE “AUX UP” AND THE “AUX DOWN” BUTTONS TO ADJUST THE VALUE TO
THE DESIRED POINT. THEN PRESS “ON” AGAIN TO RETURN TO THE CONSTANT NUMBER LIST.
PRESS THE “OFF’ BUTTON TO EXIT THE ADJUST OPERATIONAL CONSTANTS MODE.
C-1- RESET TO DEFAULTS (HOLD “MODE” AND “AUGER DELAY” BUTTONS FOR 3 SECONDS
TO RESET ALL TO DEFAULTS.
C-2- FUEL LBS. PER HOUR HR-1 (0.01-6.50) - THIS IS THE FUEL RATE IN POUNDS PER
HOUR FOR A HEAT RATE SETTING OF 1 The DEFAULT IS 2.00 LBS..
C-3- FUEL LBS. PER HOUR HR-5 (0.01-6.50) - THIS IS THE FUEL RATE IN POUNDS PER
HOUR FOR A HEAT RANGE SETTING OF 5. THE DEFAULT IS 5.00 LBS. THE FUEL RATES
USED BETWEEN SETTINGS 1 AND 3 ARE LINEARLY INTERPOLATED BETWEEN THE TWO
SETTINGS.

With jumper removed and nothing hooked/plugged into the two spades on either side of the jumper stove should stay in idle. Numbers do not change on control board stove just does ramp up.
Ok that makes sense now.. I thought that when there was a no heat call it would show hr-1 and when there was a heat call it would show hr-4( or whatever it was set to). But it just flashes on whatever hr- you have it set two for the heat call even though it’s just running on hr-1. I’ll test again tonight

correct just flashing dash shows something is happenings and flame size
yep that was it. Just didnt wait long enough for the changes. Thing cranks out some heat!
How do you guys check for exhaust leaks? I’m having a heck of a time chasing down a very slight smoke smell upon start up.. I was thinking a smoke bomb in the burn chamber?

Hard to do on a insert as you can not observe the area/vent with stove inserted into fireplace. Usually RTV silicone or silicone tape every joint and pay special attention to stove adapter where you hook venting to. That is the usual weak point.
On a regular stove run blower in test mode or hook it to direct power with old lead cord. Kids bubble liquid from the dollar store or deluded dish soap. paint bubble liquid or soap on seams and around vent adapter look for bubbles just like checking a innertube for holes.
Other wise you could smoke bomb or look at pipe when first starting stove. Semi dark room with a flash light but you have to be quick and have flash light pointed in the right direction. When pipe heats up it get more draw and the smoke stops. Also on start up there is more smoke then when the fire is going.

Post a link for the tape you are looking at, Note foil tape does not always work because I have a hard time keeping it completely smooth and any wrinkle could let smoke out. Tape should say silicone and good to 500F. Silicone tape is good for venting because it does not stick to the vent it sticks to itself. You wrap/stretch tape around pipe and the tape acts like a big rubber band squeezing in on itself. If you ever have to remove it just cut crossways and it comes off with no sticky residue left over. First one below is what I use you can also buy it HD or Lowes usually in plumbing section. You will need about 2 feet of tape for every joint you are going to do.

Make sure she is smelling smoke not pellets, some pellets can really stink some smell like pine or hardwood. I had one batch that wife would not allow in house, kept bags on porch only brought in when stove needed filling. Wife was not happy I brought it in at all, good thing it was only 1 ton.
