The only problem I'm experiencing is that the pellets are backing up in the feed tunnel now. Started it at 65 30 minutes ago and finally pushing 70 degrees. This thing is roaring! Finally getting heat to the exchange and watching the degrees climb in my house. Put the box back in as image 5 and fired it up. I let it burn out, cleaned everything out. Now I hear the whirring of the motor(s).įlash forward to after my twelve hour heat-less burn. The former owners had adhesive tape that wasn't holding the air intake in very well at all. Since the system was making abnormal noises anyway (vibration from motors), I pulled it out, cleaned out the entire system, re-seated all the connectors, and sealed the exhaust vent (test burn while pulled out for leaks). At first I thought it was the stove's fault but sitting the burn box into the cup like that leaves a gap between the burn box and the draft box.Īll it was doing was pull the heat right back out and venting it. I burned for 12 hours trying to get the box to put out warm air and could get nothing. While the cup orientation in image 6 sure looks good, it's not very efficient. After having the chimney service (just bought this house) and they cleaned out the stove as well, I wanted to try my hand at this. I wanted to do a follow up post on my experience with this stove.
