Anyone know anything Pellet stoves?? I have a Acutron 11 smokes comes out of the front and rear fresh air pipe stop this from happening??? Please if u can help this old lady would be so happy.

Check to see the flue is open to vent the smoke. Also, these stoves need air to burn correctly, so there needs to be enough fresh air to the room. A smoltering fire will always smell like smoke, a well burning fire will not.

Not uncommon. Make sure the exhaust pipe goes up fairly high from the house. The stove needs fresh air and if there is no wind outside, it can draw in outside smoke. Make sure there is some fresh air to the room or area. Normally, home leakage is enough for fresh air but some homes are so sealed up, it isn't enough.

I would check flue is clean and not blocked also check the flue terminal on the flue pipe is in good condition .

Are you sure it is the exhaust fan and not the convection fan or the fresh air fan you hear? If it is the exhaust fan, check for blockage in the exhaust pipe.

This should not be happening, have somebody check the draft for you, smoke should be drawn out chimney, unless draft is no good.

From what I have read on these things, never had one, but they have 2 fans, maybe one, plus an auger and thermostat. The one fan would **** fresh air in from the room to fuel the fire, while the other fan would blow the heat back out from a sealed area. The auger spins constantly, slow, dropping pellets on the fire determined by the thermostat. If this is right and relates to your stove, I can see where the smell of smoke would come from. The second fan is pulling in smoke from the fire. Check the gaskets in that area. I was wondering if it wasn't just the new stove smell you were getting?

That is usually caused by lack of draft. You may have a partial blockage in your vent pipe or somewhere going to it. Once the heat builds up the draft increases and the smoke is exhausted. Good luck...Lee

Some people plump in fresh air but you can also punch out the fresh air in take out on the back of the stove and recirculate the air within your home.I would think twice about installing it in your basement . Basements have a tenancy to create a negative pressure, which means that it can become very difficult to create and up draft through the chimney , which causes the smoke to seep out of the stove into your home. The only way I have found to over come this is to run a torch in the stove for 5 mins before starting a fire, this creates an up draft which eliminates the problem.

I'm confused by your question. If you are asking what is involved in installing a pellet stove well it varies greatly from model to model. Generally speaking, most pellet stoves will horizontally terminate behind the stove itself as opposed to running thru the roof like a woodstove does. Pellet stoves require the use of electricity for numerous functions, one of which is power venting thru this rear terminated pipe. As far as clearances to combustables, you will find that pellet stoves are very forgiving in that department, with minimal clearances required. Once again all stoves are different and they all are rated indepentently so my best advice to you is find a quality pellet stove dealer and go in and see them. They will be more than happy to answer your questions. Avoid the big box stores as they have pellet stoves at a good price but offer NO service or installation and believe me, I am in the business, you will need professional service at some point during the life of your stove so don't save a couple bucks by going cheap. You will be happier for it down the road. Good luck.
