When I used it the flame was lazy and smokey.
I like sunflower cause I can run on low and make tons of heat.

I got the new one installed and working fine. They had a redesign. The stock one was a big metal rectangle the new redesigned one was a small round plastic one. FYI for everyone, the puter only checks for vacuum at start up. Once it checks and finds vac it doesn't check again till next start up.
Thanks for you help Kap

I have been for the last few years. Same settings as you except elevation. Works great. I never got the soft pellets setting to work correctly which is the longest between cleans. Ran a little to smokie and when I turn up the air (elevation) it sucked all the heat out.

Thanks Kap
Ok more questions for trouble shooting.
At 10 last night I stuffed the stove and went to bed. Went down to stuff it again and saw the error.
I "rebooted" the stove this morning it went through auto clean and when it went into startup it error-ed right out. Almost instant.
As you know my exhaust fan has been making noise but it seems to be spinning just fine.
Coldest night of the year and it takes a shit:unsure:

I woke up to this error this morning.
Where is this vac switch located?

Kap
It runs 24 7. At this moment it is not making any noise. I will try to catch it after a clean cycle and let you know. Maybe it fixed itself.

Yeah. I hand that exhaust housing off and clean it real good again, cleaned in the spring. That is where I thought the noise was coming from. The fan spins fine with no noise when you spin it by hand. When it is powered upped is when the rubbing noise happens. There is no play in the baring/shaft.

Kap
I took it off and clean it again. Wasn't that dusty. The noise seems to be coming from the motor itself. Like one of the magnets is rubbing on the cup/flywheel thing. I wonder what brakeclean will do to it? It was not makings any noise this morning.

AE
Not sure why
Doesn't do it all the time. Mostly at ssmed. Stove is about 5 years old now.
Any body have any hints how to fix it??? Kap?

Thanks John!!!!

Has Quad came out with new software in the last year???
What is the current version any way.

This is what I use also except no hi elev. Too much air
