    D-Mac one other thing you can check if you didn’t already. I know you said you emptied the hopper at least once and didn’t see any foreign objects there. Take off the fines box cover and get a good look inside there. To get the best view you will need to remove the control panel so you have a straight shot. Thought here, you are looking at the pusher arm and slide plate assembly, where pellets drop when the slide plate pushes them down into the top-most portion of the auger shaft. See if there are any unexpected foreign objects sitting in there. Cardboard, metal, whatever. Long shot but it seems you’ve checked everything else, so can’t hurt to spend a few mins looking at this too. You sure don’t appear to have an issue with pellets feeding, but wondering if there could be something in there unexpectly restricting air flow.

    Luv my crummy Enviro stove's pressure ignition. So much less picky than an inductive igniter. Literally like sticking a blow torch in the firepot so no more POOF ignitions!

    My old quad would nearly blow the doors open if I didn't keep up on clearing the burnpot holes(AKA dirty stove). Scare dat chit out of you if you weren't ready.

    Who would have thunk wood gas is explosive!! :hair:

    The pressure ignition works well and for corn too,
    The only drawback I’d the price of a new one when it comes time to replace it.
    What model was you old Quadrafire?
