Only way to go X2. Worth every penny of my $30 investment. Lux TX500 works great. Just need to remember to fill the hopper!

For me this was one of the selling points when I bought a pellet stove. I like to be able "set it and forget it".

I don't. Mine runs 24/7. Rika lets you set up a 7 day dual feed rate program. I just run on manual mode and am comfortable with that.

I don't.Mine also runs 24/7 during the coldest months.I set it on low before I leave for work&turn; it up1to 3 settings when I get home(depending on the outside temp.)Works for me.

I use "The Round" by Honeywell. I tried setting it up on stove temp but the room was either too hot or too cold. Setting the stove on 4 and the thermostat at 72, it cycles from 1 to 4 as needed. The room stays at 72 and the rest of the house is in the 60's. I think it saves me pellets and I'm happy with the performance.

Added a Skytech wireless that I had previously used on a propane gas insert (before I ripped it out) Best thing I did was to add it to my Lopi Pioneer. Ran about a bag very day and a half on low / low before install..but kept the room way too warm. Now burn a bag every 3 days and keeps the downstairs finished basement (1500sq) at a nice steady 70.
