Feeling the Heat

The installers just left 10 minutes ago, and I decided to bring her on her maiden voyage. This thing is a SERIOUS heat machine. I will say that it's in the 60's here in Southern, NH, so there isn't exactly a need for it on a day like today. It somehow managed to raise the temperature 4 degrees in a little over thirty minutes. I may have to find the right setting on stove temp so it's not constantly cycling on and off and burning out the ignitor in room temp.

Nice! Love the P68. When I can afford to do it, it will be adding one of those to my house to help the accentra insert on the really cold single digit days. Figured I could run both on low and heat the house nice and evenly.
 
I run mine in stove temp this time of year. When it gets colder...run it on room temp,after it lights....flip the ignitor switch to manual....that way when the room gets up to temp,the stove goes into a maintainence burn....will not go out....then if it calls for more heat...it will go into full burn mode. This will help your ignitor life and electric bill
 
Great Install

Like that Nickel Trim Kit and Nickel Grill! Goes good with the Mirror glass!

It does crank out the heat!

My P68 was a wee bit big for my 10'x10' shed but it was only hear for a short stay. LOL

Twin P61a stoves do it for us!
 
Nice choice!

I had mine installed in the spring and have used it 4-5 times just to get the nip out. It's so easy to use and maintain...I love it!

My daughter call it the dragon because it pumps out serious heat.

Congratulation!
 
Great stove!!! You will enjoy the heat from that workhorse:cool:
