How often do you have to clean a king pellet stove? ›

While the cleaning frequency depends on how much you use your wood pellet stove (how many bags of pellets per day/week/month), basic user maintenance should be accomplished weekly. A more thorough professional cleanout should be done after every ton of pellets burned.

Slide the switch to Manual (the far right position) to be able to manually select the heat settings and controls. If you have a remote thermostat attached and wish to have the pellet stove controlled by the thermostat slide the switch to T-STAT (the middle position) to operate the pellet stove in variable heat mode.

The faster you burn pellets, the more heat you will enjoy. Also, the speed of the fan that is moving air through the heat exchange tubes can be adjusted from low to high. If your equipment is installed with a thermostat, the burn rate and the speed of the fan adjusts automatically to the temperature setting.

If you notice that your stove isn't burning pellets as well as it should or producing as much heat as it was, air flow may be to blame. Check the stove's door to make sure it is sealing securely and that no air is escaping through the door. A blocked air inlet cap also could be to blame.

Pellet stoves generally can last ten years, but with good maintenance, they could even last up to 15 or even 20 years.

Many pellet stoves are designed to burn for several hours, and some models can even run continuously for up to 48 hours. This makes them an excellent choice for those chilly nights when you want to maintain a comfortable temperature without constantly refueling the stove.

To reduce creosote buildup and make cleaning easier, cleaning out your burn pot weekly is best. If you don't use your stove often or your pellets don't produce a lot of ash, you may get away with scraping it out every two or three weeks.

Thinking of Using a Thermostat with Your Pellet Stove? If you are using a wall thermostat, it is best to set your appliance on a medium heat setting.

Pellet Stove Starts And Runs, But It Is Feeding Too Much Fuel And It Is Not Completely Burning. 99.9% of the time this problem occurs because the stove, vent, or both are very dirty. They can be so dirty that air isn't able to flow through the vent system fast enough.

The hopper may be empty. Fill the hopper and allow a few minutes for the unit to auger the pellets onto the burn pot. Venting may be blocked. The Pressure Switch senses a lack of air flow and will shut the motors off.

What does error 2 mean on a King pellet stove? ›

Error code #2 according to your manual is: hopper empty, auger output failure or jam, flame of fuel quality caused fire to burn too slowly or go out, electrical open in low temperature switch or wiring.

Many pellet stoves do not have a pellet stove reset button. Instead, you can reset them by letting the pellets run out. This way, you don't have to try to move pellets out of the stove when you are not sure if it is hot. Once the stove runs out of pellets, it will no longer be able to heat.

Airflow is a crucial ingredient to an efficient pellet stove. Ensure that the vents are clean and unblocked to allow for maximum airflow. More air equals more oxygen, which equals a hotter and more efficient burn. To spread this warmth throughout your home, consider using fans or a stove with a built-in blower system.

The NUMBER ONE cause of temperature issues is poor pellet quality. If you are experiencing temperature issues, always begin your troubleshooting by removing and replacing your pellets and vacuuming out any residual sawdust from the hopper and from the auger tube.

Pellet stove use a series of fans to draw air to fuel the fire. A low flame usually is a sign of an air problem. There could also be a clogged duct, a faulty fan or broken seals on the fireplace or stove doors. A low flame isn't a problem that should be ignored, but you should call the professionals.
