    Look for it at the bottom of the hopper… just before I left the shop last night I refilled the hopper on the Englander. Couldn't find my razor scraper so I just ripped the bag open. Got out there this afternoon to a cold shop. The stove would relight but the auger wasn't working… then the light bulb came on!:doh:

    The last time I had to pull the auger to clear out long pellets… this was easier!

    oops,

    several years ago i got a call from an old friend, she has one of our older pellet stoves was only source of heat, was just her and her kids couldnt get the stove to work.

    i dropped by that evening to fix it and found the hopper full, we dug out the pellets and found what was left of an ink pen wound into the auger. to which she says "oh, i was wondering where that went" seems it fel out of her shirt pocket as she was filling the hopper

    Haha, I've found so many matchbox cars in pellet stoves it isn't even funny. Kids like to put toys in pellet stoves for some reason.

    My son keeps putting all kinds of stuff in our humidifier. He thinks it's hilarious.

    I pulled out a straw and a fork from the base of our console humidifier's fan last week.

    (though turning up the fan speed and singing Frozen songs while the fan blows her hair seems to be endless entertainment :) )
