Why does my pellet stove not drop pellets?

Fill the hopper and allow a few minutes for the unit to auger the pellets onto the burn pot. Venting may be blocked.Similarly, what causes a pellet stove to go out? Because fire requires air, pellet stoves require a combustion blower to feed air into the system. A faulty combustion blower might be the cause of low flames not staying lit.
