    And to think, those Maine's Choice burn cleaner than the ThermaGlo's I had a couple of years ago. That doesn't mean they are warmer, or less ash, just that the glass doesn't get quite as much build up.

    It took some time for the adverse issues to begin to show up. Dont get me wrong, they burn pretty hot and that is good, but I have had cleaner pellets with less issues. Overall, I really think LaCrete burn just as hot, less issues and cheaper.

    Your glass on the P61 is much worse than mine and I haven't cleaned it since Jan. 2nd. It looks more like the glass on your P43, just a little darker.

    Are you burning Maine's Choice? I burn chitty pellets in the P61 normally (ThermaGo's etc). When I had the MWP's in there, the glass wasn't that bad.

    Well I can confirm that the UPS works as i should. The wife plugged in a faulty hot glue gun and it tripped the breaker and the stove idled down and put a message on the display ( currently running on battery back up ) And not only did she do it once she done it twice :picard:
