Room temp manual. feed rate at 4. fan on low switch but max on dial. loosing temp upstairs(1500sq ft) as we speak as the temps outside about -36F!!!! oil furnace kicking in to help$$$. burning cubex only...
 
Room temp Auto. Temp set to 70::F. Feed at 3.5. -4::F outside, 70::F in the stove room. 69::F in the adjacent living room. Both rooms in a walk out basement on a slab. Burning two bags of Cleanfire Hardwoods per day... Oil is for DHW only...
 
Room temp manual set to 75, feed rate 4.5 - 5, connected to a set back thermostat. For last week or so, things don't seem to be working as well as they were, since no matter what I try with the feed rate, pellets in the pot don't change. Flame seems lazy. On the other hand nighttime temps have been hitting -2 to -8 and highs around 10 for the last 10 days. Going to try and clean the stove pipe this weekend, assuming I can get on the roof and over to the pipe, without crossing snow, since I know that will not end well for me.
 
harman lover....thanks for the thread. i run stove mode with feed rate @ 4 and rarely does that change. right now with the single digit temps at night i run on setting 5.5 and it keeps 2200 sq ft nice n warm.....since owning the stove for 4 years now the electric heat as not been turned on
