breckwell big e p1000 pellet stove nothing but problems with this pellet stove.heat out put is bad.. stove will run all night on level 1and 2 but if i turn up to level 3 4 5 stove shuts down in ten minutes…
I am now on year 11 with my Big E, Last year I replaced my convection blower, and that’s about it. Other than a auger and auger motor failure caused by Kirtland pellets of Boyne City Michigan and I know several others who had the same experience in various pellet stoves with these pellets which had a very high moisture content and seemed to be very green wood, as the odor indicated, would bind up the auger and freeze it in place, this finally killed the motor and snapped the auger in half. It took hell the get the solid mass of fines that stuck like cement to the auger loose.
The pellet stove still runs 24/7 and 7 months a year up here not far from Lake Superior.
My stove will not stay on it shuts off it has been running with no problems til a week ago
Have had 2 BIG E’s for over 8 years now. One is 4 years older than the second. I am a retired auto service manager, so maintaining them is second nature to me.
I always use quality pellets (prefer Lignetics) and ash
stays at a minimum. One exhaust motor was replaced in the older unit while still under warranty. My biggest complaint with quality of these units is the level of NOISE that the motors exhibit. It is so annoying to try and watch TV at night when you have this annoying whine in the background. If they do not improve this downfall of an otherwise reliable product. I will probably not purchase another. The older unit needs another motor now, noise is intolerable.
I am on my 5th season for the Breckwell Big E. This unit has been running 24/7 through the heating season on a setting of 4, burning an average of 7 tons. Burn pot cleaned every day and an general cleaning every 7 days. It has now been through 2 combustion motors, 2 convection motors, 1 auger motor, 1 control panel, 1 proof of fire sensor, 1 burn pot and 2 burn pot collars. I feel this unit did not accomplish the savings for the investment. The replacement parts, which I replaced myself, cost $1500. I hope this will help the next person thinking of purchasing one of these units
