test.

pellets

The brand of pellets or the batch of pellets that are being used may

might also want to try a brand that is made from a different type of
wood (softwood vs. hardwood). Different woods have different
characteristics when being burned. Your pellets may also be too
humid. Make sure your store your fuel properly, in a dry ventilated
area.
