First off let me say hello and thanks for a great site. I'm a new member today but have lingered for a long time learning as much as possible. This is a great palce. I know everyone likes details so here goes. I just installed a quad 5700 in a semi finished basement about 900 sq ft witha wide open floor plan. I plan on heating that area and the upstairs (1050 sq ft) with the stove. The flue is an insualtaed class A 8 inche flue that needed replaced so it was relined and insulated witha 6 inch rigided liner. Total height is about 17 feet. I did a small break in fire earlier and have been getting ready to start another one then let her rip.
My question is when the acc is on (timer started) and you pull the lever that should override the timer forward (this should close off the extra air) should you still hear the timer ticking. I ask becuase if I set the acc and try to turn it off by pulling this lever I can still here the timer ticking. Is this normal or should that stop ticking. I can't tell where the air is supposed to come from so I don't know if it is working porperly or not (shuting down the extra air when that lever is pulled). Being new to this I want to make sure I have a good handle on the stove befire I really let her get hot. Thank in advance for the help
I gues also anyone using this stove Where did you put the stove top thermometer and what temps does it seem to settle at. thaknks guys.
