I know this because I received a text notice from another appliance thats connected to the internet and sends a text message when the power is restored.and the firepot was full of pellets that were partially lit. When the power came back, apparently the stove didnt. Over the course of the next hour before we got home, the pellets continued to smolder in the firepot. My house filled with smoke, all the smoke alarms in the house were going off. When we got home (around 1:15 PM EST), the smoke was so thick we could hardly make it through the house to get a dog out that was in her crate in the room where the stove is (downstairs in a large walkout basement) and get the windows open.

My Installation (which is in accordance with manufacturers recommendations outlined in the Owners Manual): - Location at the center of 37 long exterior wall within a walkout basement.
