Has anyone ever upgraded an Enviro from the old control board (pre 2006) to the new one (post 2006)? My Enviro Mini suffers from lack of trim controls that the new board offers. I'm hoping this will help me with finding a damper setting that is good for High through the lowest heat setting. Currently I need to keep the damper way closed to keep the fire from burning out on Low, but that yields a lazy flame on high. I've had this issue since day-1 with all the pellet brands I've used.
Also the On/Off thermostat logic is better on the new one. When the thermostat reaches temperature, it first drops back to Low for 30 min, then shuts off if the thermostat is still satisfied. Currently, mine goes immediately to the shutdown cycle, which can result in lots of startup cycles throughout the day. Lastly, the new board has a switch to control thermostat mode, while my old board has an internal jumper.
Anyway - The connectors on the old/new control boards look identical, but I'd like some type of confirmation that they are electrically compatible before I plunk down $250. I know I'll need to modify the board mounting panel to accommodate slide switch, and the right hand stove cover as well.
