    After watching your video pulled the back panels behind the fire pot. Couldn't believe how much was built up. Running so much better, thanks again.

    Great video. I read the whole manual that came with our Grand Teton (PS130) and nowhere did it tell us to do this. I kept telling my husband that there were openings at the top of the plates and ash must surely be going behind there. Thanks for the instructions!

    Watching from France and new owner of a pellet insert. Inserts are a bit more tricky to feed and clean as everything is squashed in the chimney breast, still getting to grips with cleaning. Mine seems to produce of a lot of ash so daily clean is a necessity, the back plate is fairly awkard to remove so for now doing it monthly unless the insert starts having lots of misfiring. Thank you for all the explanations which I found very useful.

    .....i never knew the back panels could come off, I have some cleaning to do tomorrow and I bet that'll help loads with the heat. (I've not looked yet, but) So you have a video for cleaning the fans?? Or the cleaning they recommend after burning a ton?? The manual is very dry when it comes to "clean after a ton of pellets burn" and it's the fan/filter/motor??? :/ I feel inept when it comes to this and I don't want to have a problem... Thank you for the video, again the monthly helped a lot

Maybe a side panel or the back but... I've popped the side off and all I'm seeing is wires and the back is a bit difficult. My bigger fear is the exhaust pipe and that needing to be cleaned... I will be looking for your Ton cleaning

    Mine is new and I find it wasn't burning the pellets all the way and I was getting a build up. What do u do to prevent this and get it to burn hotter

    • @diaryofageek
      @diaryofageek  Місяць тому

      In my testing your Exhaust temp should be in the 275-425 degree point. 275 being P4 and a low flame. anything higher than 425 or so is kind of wasting heat out the exhaust, and even around the 275 point is almost too low. Mine runs on ECO2 P3 24-7 it will run on P3 until room temp is made then goes down to P4 automatically to "hold" the temp. and mine has the white ash on the back panels. The buildup is hard to prevent, it also depends on pellets. I vac my burn pot out about once a week (every weekend) i think i have stuff dialed in and have decent pellets. I think this is about as good as we can get with this type of stove.

    I clean me entire burn chamber, pot, under pot, glass, either side of pot every day, behind the panels once a week. But your missing the ash tray and taking the sides of the entire system off and vacuuming out around the blowers and motors. Alot is pellet dust gets inside, best to clean that out. Pellet dust will when collect on the circuit board. Just a FYI

    • @diaryofageek
      @diaryofageek  Місяць тому +1

      it would be different between us.. the settings can change with pellet types, length of flue, cold air intake (hooked up or not) even outdoor temperature can cause you to need to adjust things. Make sure your flame looks proper, check out this video, its not our pellet stove model but its a great video to help understand what the flame should and should not look like. ua-cam.com/video/OEKmTtpFLNM/v-deo.html

    How do you set the damn thing where it kicks off at the temp you want and then turns back on

    • @diaryofageek
      @diaryofageek  Рік тому +1

      That’s under user settings. Set it to eco1. But it will only “stick” if you make that change while it’s off or shut it down then restart it. You can’t start it in eco2 and switch to eco1 while it’s running/burning. Eco1 will shut itself off and look like it’s powered off after it gets to your desired temp. Then about 5 degrees of drop it will fire back up.
      Eco2 will only switch to a lower flame once temp is reached then back up to whatever P setting you had it on before it dropped to P4.

    For some reason my pellets keep flying out of the burning pot when they’re being dropped, any way to stop this?
    Also, struggling to understand my pellet stove on eco2 , and the exhaust levels needed as well as my blower. I don’t understand how they work together to adjust my levels. Pellet stove was handed down to me . 😅

    • @diaryofageek
      @diaryofageek  Рік тому

      Yea that seems to be a common issue. Some people have taken their pot to a machine shop and added 3/4” to the top rim to stop that. Mine hasn’t been bad enough to need that though.

    • @diaryofageek
      @diaryofageek  Рік тому

      The exhaust settings are more about what the flame should look like. I found this video to be super helpful, I actually had to turn my “smoke” or exhaust fan to negative numbers to get my flame correct. Now I have very little ash and my exhaust temps stay under 400 for the most part. ua-cam.com/video/OEKmTtpFLNM/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
