Posts Tagged ‘fines’

My auger is “groaning”, not delivering as many pellets, there are more pellet particles, and sometimes in the morning the stove is out and the burnpot is full of pellets. Why?

The pellet particles are called “fines” and they can accumulate on the sides and the bottom of the hopper. I recommend that you run the stove completely out of fuel and vacuum out any remaining fines. You can then rub wax paper on the inner surfaces of the hopper to make it slicker. Do this every month or so.
