Oh, the graphite powder worked great. Couple bucks and and it is quiet as it was the day we bought it.
Thanks for that tip.

Still working with the fly ash issue.



thanks again!

I did burn it at a higher setting to get the pellets out. (that seemed to help burn better at a higher setting, but still have some adjustments to make. Still think that flame is too wild and fly ash is too much).

Another issue you guys can maybe help with. My feed auger squeaks, whines and grinds. Not sure why. Like I said above, I burned all the fuel out of it and I am going to look in there this weekend and see if there are some unwanted particles is in there or something. Anyway of lubing that inner auger area? It never Squeaked before, just since I started with the wood pellets.

thanks

OMG I tried to write back earlier tonight at work, only to get kicked off. Then I spent the past 40 min trying to get back on the chat forum and it wouldn't let me log in.

OK, basically it isn't burning correctly leaving way too much fuel in the pot, throwing it over the side. I have been playing with the side vent and when I get it where I think it needs to be the flame it way too rapid and the fly ash is everywhere.

I have been playing with the "pull outs" the 2 on the bottom for cleaning. If I pull one out about 1-1 1/2" it give some different air flow that makes my flame burn (more) correctly and that allows me to push my side vent in some so I don't have so much fly ash. Also, when I do this my glass looks clean in the mornings. If I don't do this no matter how far out my vent is the glass ends up black.

Note: there shouldn't be any issue with the pellets being damp or anything like that cause I store them inside (porch) and they are bagged as I bought them.

Any info is appreciated. Sorry, I had planned on being more informative but my issue with not being able to log-on has got me all worked-up and used up my time to write.

I will check back as I can.

thanks

We've burned corn in the past years with no issues. We have the Countryside Magnum stove and had it for about 6-7 years or so. This year with the high prices of corn we switched to wood pellets. And I can't seem to get them to burn correctly. Does anyone know if the is a different setting for pellets?

I was talking to a gentleman that owns a Bixby and he says those have a setting to switch to from corn to wood pellets.

Looking for some input cause I can not find anything in the owners manual.


thanks for any help
