That's different than Nesco and $110 less money if you also buy Auger If it is durable it sounds like you did well

They are pretty close as long as they're premium. Some are dustier. There is less differance than you might think between soft and hard wood. In the pressing process the cells in soft wood are crushed so the cells are are condensed similar to the hard wood and you end up practically the same thing. I prefer hard wood. It's love the one your with I guess. I haven't found a bad pellet as long as it's premium and dry.

Got the kit installed, and purchased 4 tons of pellets. I did fire it up and it seem to burn really nice. I did not give it more air...... What should the flame look like with pellets burning?

I the pellets for 189 ton, then got a Fleet Farm credit card so they gave me another 10% off...... 182 ton with tax!!

Thanks for all the help!!

That was a good price. I opened my air 1.75 turns and may go .5 more. It needs to burn clean on higher rates.

I did not see any....... Maybe that is why I got a good deal....


He did tell me this is the same fan others are using.

I need to adjust the air yet, what should the flame look like? Color? Height?

Thanks

Bright yellow color, height of flame will depend on fuel setting. I have opened my air 2 turns, It should be similar with yours I would guess. My Nesco neg. draft has no oil ports either. Glass should stay reasonably clean with little black in 12 hour period. I'll try and take picture and get it up.
