Flames in Ash Pan?

That's what I thought. So both augers would have had to have been turning, not just the bottom one to run it out of fuel. SmokeyTheBear what would you recommend as being the best procedure in this case? Would the over heat sensing mechanisms still work to kill power to the auger when it gets to the trip point? Or could one not depend on any feature working correctly at that point?

 

I would make sure a full cleaning gets done before that number. Under 50. You are most likely boarder line at best with air flow with a clean stove, so this doesn't help in the least.
I know without counting a bag when I have a ton on my stove. I start to get a little hill in my pot instead of the nice hot bed of coals. And every day I wait to do a full cleaning that hill gets bigger, faster. What would never pile high enough to get to the chute, would get there in less than 24 hours if I wait much longer than 50 bags burned. In fact I waited a little too long this last time and had to shut the stove down every 12 hours for a couple of days. Not good on my part.

 

Depends upon how fast it was feeding maybe a dose of CO2 in the intake and then yanking the plug and let the natural draft do the rest. They at least have that natural draft in their favor.

That is not a good response from that stove at all to a power off request.

I would also have looked for action on the part of the vacuum system (this is always problematic as a certain pressure difference may still be present even though the burn pot is filling up).

I know that some controller software goes to an internal failure mode when it isn't certain of the vacuum in the firebox and locks out the control panel and just pays attention to the vacuum system and such, the stove could have already been trying to decide if it should shut down or not.

ETA: I don't have the code running in that controller and don't really want to get into it as I'd likely have to learn a new assembly language and there is already too many cobwebs in that system.

 

Well thanks for re-wording my statement and trying to use it to insult me lmao

 

Just ignore the crotchety old bear.

 

It won't likely do a thing to help. But what the hell there was a Magnum owner who got that kind of an idea and nope only made things worse in his case.

 

I just mentioned that the controller adjustment wasn't the only one that gets made. A lot of quad owners get into a lot of trouble by not paying attention to that page in the manual no insult was intended.

Nothing quite like gumming up a stove with a long term rich burn and lots of carbon in the pot and so forth and so on.

 

I would be terrible if someone needed to order an oxygen generator for a pellet roaster. What did hubby have to say about his time with Drolet.

 

Just what one wants manuals that are OTL on what is on the stove.
