    OK so I was walking by the stove and notice the flame is very low ,but the burn pot is full of ash and hadn't been scrapped in a couple of days.

    So I scrape the pot ,flame is still dying realize that it's not feeding pellets after watching for a few mins. Turn up the feed rate and temp dial ,still not feeding WTF is the auger motor dead :hair::(

    I've had pellet bridges before so I stick my arm in the hopper and swish them around still nothing :(

    Plan B go to the manual ,to the trouble shooting check list why it's not feeding , #5 bail out the hopper don't see a jam or anything ,so turn stove off then on and BINGO it starts feeding again :dex: :dex::thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: :drunk::dancer::dancer:
    It's all good now :D Stove will get a cleaning this weekend it's not that dirty only has 14 bags through it since the last clean .

    So bottom line if your stove is having issues refer to the manual ,then get on this Great forum ask ?? plenty of smart folks here to help :handshake:

    Pics for proof ,because we love pics:)

    Maggie is very Happy that it's up and running again. IMG_2192.jpg IMG_2190.jpg IMG_2191.jpg

    I'd still be concerned about why it stopped feeding in the first place. When the fire was dying, was the auger motor running at all?

    PS Glad Maggie is warm now. :thumbs:

    Well...woke and and didn't feel well...knew right away I slipped back into Afib...the Cardioversion procedure I had done on 12/1 lasted up until this morning. Had to go in for EKG....sure enough back in Afib....was completely pizzed!!! Now I'm looking at having an ablation procedure done. It could be wore, at least I have something that should be treatable.
