Can I fill the hopper without the stove shutting down?

Question:  Can the hopper be refilled while the stove is running?

Answer:  The hopper has a safety switch tied to the lid opening that will shut the auger feed off when it detects the lid to be open.  If refilling the hopper is done quickly, once the hopper lid shuts, normal operation should resume.  Also, it is possible to fool the computer by holding down the safety lid switch.  Doing so will allow the stove to continue feeding while you have the door open for pellet refill.  (please be mindful of the potential risks and keep hands and fingers clear of the auger below.)
