Pellets will build up for numerous reasons. First thing I would check is the air flow settings on your pellet stove. If it is too low not providing enough air the pellets will not burn fast enough causing them to pile up.

Another possibility is that the feed rate is set too high on your stove.

I would recommend cleaning out your stove really well, removing all the ash and trying to see if they pile up again.

You really have to mess with your feed rate and your air controls to get the proper settings where it runs smooth.

What is pellet stove auger gear motor?

The auger is like a big screw. As the screw turns pellets travel from supply bin to fire along the shaft. The auger turns because it is connected to a motor that is geared down from its rotational speed to a slower speed so pellets are delivered in a timely way to the fire and not shot like bullets out of the stove.


Is a fire wall required behind a wood stove?

A firewall (also called a fire shield) can be used to reduce the safe distance between a stove and a wall. A wood stove can radiate heat for long periods and it will accumulate in materials that are too close. A standard design goal is to leave 2 or 3 feet of air between an uninsulated stove (or stovepipe) and any flammable materials (paint, wooden wall interiors, insulation, wooden or plastic trim, floors, etc). As a rule of thumb, if a nearby surface is too hot to rest your bare hand on, then it is too close to the stove. When properly designed and installed a firewall can reflect or dissipate heat from the stove, protecting the wall behind it, thus permitting the stove to be moved closer to the wall without creating a fire hazard. The installation guide or contractor can assist in determining the safety clearances around a stove with or without a firewall. For example, an asbestos fire shield installed with a one-inch air-gap behind and below it may permit the distance to the stove to be cut in half (i.e., 18 inches minimum, less if the stove design permits it).


How does a fire damper work?

In the event of fire, the fusible link melts and the shutter gets closed. This helps in blocking the fire from spreading through the duct ----- If you are asking about a damper on a stove or chimney, that is not called a fire damper, but just a damper. There is a link to a question on that below.

Is there any difference between a wood pellet stove and a normal wood stove?

Yes, although the wood pellet stove and the normal wood stove can look the same on the outside, it's what is inside that makes the difference. Normal wood stoves have special vents that make it able to keep the fire going for a long time, while wood pellet stoves keep a little storage of fuel above the fire, and the "pellets" are dropped into the fire every once and a while to keep the fire going.

What are pellet stove inserts used for?

A fireplace insert is a type of smaller stove inserted into an existing fireplace as a method of converting a fireplace from one fuel source to another. A wood stove insert would be used to allow a masonry fireplace to be much more efficient in its heating. However, an insert must be installed correctly to prevent risk of fire and toxic smoke.

Can you put pellets in a BB gun?

While many pellet guns are configured to be able to fire regular BB's, most BB guns cannot fire standard BB caliber pellets. To fire a pellet, the BB gun would have to be a breech loaded or break-barrel loaded design, and the pellets would have to be loaded single-shot.


Are BBs or Pellets more accurate?

In general, BB guns are smoothbore, and the barrel is larger than the steel BB. Pellets guns are rifled, and fire a lead pellet that is a squeeze fit to the bore. This is MUCH more accurate than a BB. GOOD pellet guns are more accurate than firearms, within their usable range. I have one pellet rifle that will put pellet after pellet into the same hole in the target at 10 meters.

Can wood next to a pellet stove at home catch fire from hot air?

It's technically possible, if a bit unlikely. Pellet stoves burn extremely hot, and the heated air would tend to dry out wood placed near them, making the wood more prone to catching fire.


What is 177 caliber?

It's the size of a BB in diameter but it is more accurate than a BB. Pellets come in different sizes starting with the smallest size of .177, the largest pellet is a 50 caliber pellet and requires a very powerful air rifle to fire it.


Can a air soft gun that fire plastic pellet be modified to fire real bullet or lead pellet?

Air Soft guns are not designed to fire Pellets. The shape is just wrong but there are steel BB in the 6mm size avalable. But because they are heaver than plastic they fire or travel slower. If the Air Soft gun is not designed to use them they may actually ruin or break the air gun.
