    So someone has messed with the lower buttons on my stove's control board... low burn air, low feed and the 3rd one (don't remember what it is!).

    Anyway I have not touched those in 5 years. What are the factory settings?

    The stove burns the pellets in the burn pot at startup then either 1) shuts down and the pellets pile up or 2) doesn't feed more pellets.

    It has worked flawlessly until last weekend when a friend shut the stove off for me. Got a hunch he punched every button he could find.

    Krooser, if you do not need all the heat from the factory setting then try 4-6-1 and the stove will run quite a bit longer on one bag of pellets. :)

    1-3 after it is warm.. 5-5 / 6-6 to get it there from cold.
    Usually keeps it around 50°
