Could have something to do with the milder temp last night (25 vs 8 Tuesday night), but I was much happier with the Stove Temp mode on my XXV last night. The house was 69 when I woke up this morning, using far less pellets than Room Temp mode. I think for me the thing that is difficult is interpreting the temp dial when in Stove mode. With Room mode you just turn the dial to the temp you want. With Stove mode, there are nothing but numbers (not degrees) so you have to find the range on the dial that works for you.
 
Well one thing I've learned from this forum is that there is not one single right way to run a stove for everyone. I think it depends on your install, location, tightness of your house, Oak or not, etc..... Just so many variables. I think there are generalizations that can be made but more often than not, it's a matter of experimentation for what works for you.

That's why I thought it was "interesting."

Believe me, I know how variables (small ones at that) make a huge difference.
 
Tomorrow I'll probably post how much better Room Temp mode was!
 
I use stove temp when the temps putside are below 20 degrees.
I find that the stove will maintain a more even temperature than room
temp, which gives me highs & lows as the unit cycles. I DEFINITELY use
less pellets in room temp, as the auger isn't constantly feeding.

Exactly my experience as well.....I think the other night ST #2 just wasn't high enough for me.
