Hello, Michael from Fairbanks, Alaska here. (Yay -40 winters)
New user to forums here, been lurking for a bit as I learned about pellet stoves. I have researched and decided upon purchasing the Harman P38+. There were a couple issues I had questions about, so here I am!
1) I saw a thread in regards to using setback thermostats with pellet stoves, and was curious if anyone knew what specific thermostat I needed to put inline with the room sensor for the P38+. I saw one thread, but it it was not specific enough for my tastes.
2) Anyone have experience with using combustion air @ -40 degrees? My boiler has a nice long duct, but in this situation the duct will only be a foot long, and likely freeze up with condensate, I am thinking. ((The boiler duct freezes about a foot out from the wall)) The local dealer said he has never installed combustion air, and would not recommend it. I would like to avoid negative pressurizing my house, but it doesn’t seem like I have choice when the air is that cold.
3) Is the only difference between this and the P43 the automatic igniter / off /on features, and the fact that the P43 comes with a room sensor?
Thanks for any help you can provide, it is appreciated.
