I have my stove set at 5&5;but it is waaaay toooo hot for us. I have tried different settings but the stove keeps going out (pellet overload and such). HELP! Any ideas what the best setting is to keep the room warm NOT so hot its like you are burning in hell.
 
You should push each button and just see what the settings are set at. The default is 6-4-1. If your settings are at the 6-4-1 and your stove is going out when you put it down to a lower setting such as 2-5 then there is something wrong. I changed my settings to 5-6-1 to slow down the consumption of pellets and to try and get a cleaner burn. I can run my stove on 1-3 with no problem.
 
My I changed my lower settings to 5-5-1 and run it on 1-2. It seems to keep the house around 71* through the night and doesn't cook us. I imagine when it gets colder will have to play with the settings again to find a good one.
 
Definitely play around with the Low Fuel Feed and Low Burn Air buttons to tune the stove when burning on settings 1 and 2. My settings are 3-8-1 to get a clean hot burn when on low. Each stove burns a little differently so don't be afraid to play around with it. The lower the LFF thw slower the pellets are fed in and the higher the LBA the more air is fed into the burn area.
