We have a recently acquired Renaissance that will fire up just fine, run for a half hour or 45 mins, then shut off unexpectedly. Blower(s) and auger all off. Does not have a low temp sensor, bypassed the two high temps and it still happens. Quick visual under the hood, everything looks pretty clean, are these known for any particular issues along this line?
 
Hello
I would check the pressure switch next. See Technical manual. :-)

Did you do a deep clean on the stove internal exhaust pathways before install? Checked over all the gaskets (dollar bill test on door/ash pan/hopper as appropriate?) There is a magnahelic port so you can set up properly (in the manual above). May need to fine tune feed/blower adjustments.

What heat level is this happening at?
