Ditching the Savannah Saranac

Our current pellet insert only has a 40lb hopper so we are actually going up in size.

And compared to some of the diehard pellet burners here we barely burn through the pellets. Last year we burned just over 1 ton. Over the summer we installed new windows in the house that has actually brought our consumption WAYYYYY down.

We have been operating the stove manually, but are heavily considering getting a thermostat to run the Quad. I wonder how that will change the pellet consumption?

Sweet!! My friend has one and he can barely get through the night. Your situation sounds ideal

I believe the Castile requires one. There is no other way to turn the stove on/off. I use the Quad "mechanical" (mercury bulb) one, but you can use programmable ones if you prefer.

The stove does come with the mechanical thermostat. We are thinking of upgrading to a programmable one. I'm wondering if our pellet consumption will go up or down using a thermostat?
