 No problems so far (touch wood) this winter. Using a lot of pellets this year so far, more than last. Regular cleaning required but seems to be burning ok. No longer getting half burnt pellets in the ash but there seems to be a lot of klinker in the burn pot each week. Adjusted the boiler temperature to range 65 to 80 degrees C. It was set to 62 to 75 over the summer. Seems to be using the same amount of pellets despite the higher running temperature.

Subsequently - discovered the compressor to be switched off at the back of the unit. Switched it back on and the burn pot is now Klinker free as the self clean is working again.
