Do you want your pellet stove to be fixed more efficiently? You can do a few things to help keep your pellet stove burning fuel properly. Please review the tips with us so you know what to do when the fires you're burning in the stove aren't as hot or effective.
Clean Out the Stove Regularly
The more you use your pellet stove, the dirtier it will become. When you don't keep up with maintenance and continue to use the stove, it cannot work as efficiently because soot and byproducts from the fire are building up inside. Follow the standards from the manufacturer for the proper maintenance tips—however, ensure the hopper, burn pot, air inlet, and ashtray are all cleaned regularly.
Use the Proper Pellets
You can use many different types of pellets in your pellet stove. However, not every brand or quality of pellet is suitable for burning. Using a low-grade pellet could clog up the appliance, and it will not burn as effectively, which limits the heat the stove gives off. Purchase high-quality pellets to help prevent any issues with your stove and to burn efficient fires.

Adjust Airflow
To help keep your pellet stove burning correctly, you may need to adjust the damper's airflow occasionally. Not only do you need the proper fuel, but you also need a suitable amount of oxygen to burn the best fires in your pellet stove. Open the damper on your stove wider for more airflow—adjust this throughout your fire to help control it better.
Don’t Let the Hopper Run Out of Fuel
The hopper is the component inside the pellet stove that houses the fuel. The stove automatically dispenses the pellets into the burn pot to keep your home warm. However, if you do not check the hopper and refill it with fuel, your stove cannot function properly and could run out of pellets. Fill the hopper whenever the pellets are low to keep the fire burning.
Your pellet stove might be finicky if you don't clean or service it. If you plan on keeping your home warm with this heating system, you need to understand how to keep your fires burning efficiently. When you want to keep an intense fire burning in your stove, use the tips above!
