Any issues with soot on the logs??

Yes, they do soot up a bit at the low to medium settings. It might go away with higher flame settings. The logs can be brushed off in the sink, but it's a messy process so I won't bother again. It doesn't really look bad, just keep it off your hands/clothes.

We've not had any problems with that but we haven't let the ashes get really deep. There is a mesh screen attached to the inside of the pit to control that behind the cut-outs. But if you were to let the ash get really deep then I expect some could sift out. We really like the pit, holds good sized logs so really glad we went with the square shape. I would buy it again in a heartbeat. Used it last night actually. Hope this helps.

what were you using it for the smoke is kinda normal the noise will subside as you evacuate the unit but make sure it has vacuum pump oil in it to the min max line on site glass

No, never had soot on my pots or cast iron skillet. I also never run it all the way up on high because of the yellow flame, since I still run this stove inside a cabin. I never had the need to do so because my pots are no more than 14" dutch ovens or skillet and the flame goes past the pots. But no soot.

I. have the same condition. This winter it was running 24 h for days at a time. Checked to see if 'dead spot' was leaking propane using bbq lighter. No leak detected. Mine is 2 yrs old with very heavy usage this winter so I can't tell if this is normal wear.In any case it seemed to provide same amt. of heat as when new and cylinders lasted about same time.

I have had mine for over a year using it consistently and have only replaced two and very recently the third. I have never had any problems with sparks. Where is the sealer sparking? I have used mine on highest setting and have not had any problems though it will shorten the life of the element. You might just have a faulty unit. I would double check to see that the element is screwed in snug at both ends. Possibly take the bottom off and expose the wiring and look for soot on wires or possibly case. Always do this with the unit unplugged.

Ni, it's really nice. I have a small town home and it's waaay better than any other log. My house smells awful with those. There is no bad smoky smell, but not too parfum like either

Hold the 'filter reset' button (the small button with the looping arrow) down for like 15 or 30 seconds. If it still doesn't reset - sometimes I think the filter really is clever or insane and you might want to double-check that everything is making contact and there's no soot shorting anything out, but I think I only ever had one be 'stubborn' once.

I have had no issues personally. I have a mowing business on the side and I have not burned at all.

It is not recommended that you replace the logs and lave with fire glass. The manufacturer believes it might affect the performance of the unit and will void the warranty.

You need to remove the logs and use only the lava rocks. This is the only way I got rid of the soot which was considerable, even coated my newly stained deck badly which really sucks. Wish I would have realized this before using the logs which instantly turned black upon using them along with soot floating off. I haven't tried different logs since the look of the flames with lava rocks only look great to me and my wife. I had to scrub my deck to get the soot off which wasn't easy. I think the quality of logs is low since I have been using a natural gas fire place in my house, two of them, for 18 years with no sign of soot or the logs turning black.

I use these all the time and I don't have any problems with them. It might be your burn speed is set to high.

there should be a red light on the insight when the truck is in regen. not sure if you can monitor the soot grams. try to google it.

Yes, please see my review on this item. If you are handy, or have someone that can help you will be able to solve the sooting problem for approx. 50 cents and 20 minutes of time. I hope this helps, I was extremely frustrated by this problem and felt the same way as many others and was glad to have found a solution (especially without expense). Best Regards!

m. kelly, i've had and used my grill for almost 2 years and have NEVER experienced this problem. one thing i ALWAYS do after each use is CLEAN all surface areas including the burners. i wipe them down and ignite the flame to make sure all burners are functioning properly. check the bottle gas and make sure it is tight on the threaded valve. i swear by mine, good luck. mc

Nothing listed as 'soot'. But there is a long list of metals and a short list of 'contaminants'. i was hoping for a percentage of 'usable life remaining' in the oil to know if I was getting the most out of the expensive synthectic oil I used. No such listing.

I would its a little short, I have a soot spot don't bother me but I have mine turned up, I call it my warning soot if a another truck is going to try to pass me there going to get smoked.
