Ashes - A common mistake of new owners is to rake and clean out the ashes too
often. Using quality pellets, one only needs to lightly rake the ashes once every
few days. The Upland has sufficient ash storage that the stove can run for a month
without removing ashes.
This is an Upland 207 Pellet Stove advantage. Enjoy it. You may let the ashes
accumulate until the stove is filled up to the door threshold. You may also remove
a few scoops of ashes whenever you wish as long as you maintain your ˝volcano ˛.
Burn Pot - The auger resistance lever will provide the best indication as when to
schedule a cleaning of the burn pot and feed elbow. Once the stove is up and
running the resistance drops to the point that you can push down the lever easily
with your thumb. When the resistance builds to the point that it is difficult to push
the lever it is time to clean. You can usually run for a least a month between
cleanings.
Window -
Some fly ash will collect on the 1400° F rated glass-ceramic window.
This may be wiped off using a cotton cloth at any time while the stove is running.
Over the course of weeks a thin transparent film of creosote will build up giving
the window a bit of a tint. It is usually insufficient to warrant cleaning except when
you do your maintenance cleaning of the burn pot.
The front door lifts off so that it can be placed horizontally on a newspaper. Spray
the window with glass cleaner and allow it to soak while cleaning the burn pot.
Oven clean may be used, but follow up with normal glass cleaner.
How do I keep my auger feeding smoothly?
The Upland 207 Pellet Stove allows you to monitor the auger resistance and thus
how hard the gear motor is working. This helps you to judge when to clean the
burn pot. With time it will also help you judge pellet quality and your settings to
minimize maintenance.
Auger jams are generally caused by a foreign object, sawdust, creosote, or dense
ash . The bottom feed design allows the Upland 207 Pellet Stove to handle more
sawdust than most pellet stoves. Many pellet stoves have a top feed design that
requires the auger to lift the pellets to the chute before they drop into the burn pot.
It is difficult to pump saw dust upward. It tends to fall back down and collect at the
bottom of the auger feed until it jams things up. The UP207P auger design
minimizes this problem.
