anyone have any idea im trying to decide whether or not I should get someone in to look at it or is it just user error on my part
Could very well be a difference in the new venting or draft. Some dirt maybe got loosened up during the move? Are you familiar with a complete tear down and cleaning? Just because it was serviced doesn't mean the tech knew the stove or that he didn't miss some part of the cleaning process. Maybe look for some cleaning videos on ytube for your stove if your up to doing the work. If not it may be time for a service visit from a different tech.
I am not saying any of the things I mentioned are the cause but just throwing some ideas out to you.

yesterday after I posted I was talking to a repair guy got him to come in and give it a good cleaning he also adjusted the air he told me everything looked good but after he left yesterday at 1:00pm I filled it with a bag of pellets set it on 3 and I got 13 hrs out of a bag 120.00 bill to gain an hour and I must say he cleaned it good I watched him
