Howdy,
I wasn't getting very far searching for this on the forum but I was thinking about getting a temp switch for my blower this year. Number one, I've got well-seasoned wood and with my wood stove being in the basement, it would act sort of as a safety mechanism of keeping the stove from getting too hot. I know this doesn't replace tending the stove properly and that the stove can still get away from you, but it just seemed like we would hit the blower when the stove started getting a bit too hot and then it just cooled the stove off way too much as it kept running manually when the fire died down. I found this one on the internet with a quick search but figured this would be the best place to check for value, effieciency, and reliability. Thanks for all the suggestions.
