Well very excited to report that my Pellet Stove is pumping out a decent heat today! I had a guy here working on it and we discovered that the air flow spot at the back of the ash pan was almost completely plugged with soot. I had no idea that spot was even there and my manual doesnt mention cleaning it. A 4x2 space was reduced to an inch of flow. Also found that my ash pan seal is gone. I was not aware that the ash pan needed to be sealed tightly for the proper air circulation through the stove. I also need a regulator, mine is getting red hot and not kicking in. Its supposed to turn off the ignitor and bump up the blower speed, so Im getting one of those. The guy who was here also found a bunch of the parts for me at the Restore, so I think I can get my venting for $100ish rather than 450! Happy Dance.
