    Recently moved into new home with fireplace and little documentation. There was an installation manual for IDV34 or 44, so presumably one of those models. It's controlled by a Emerson 1e78-140 Thermastat that allows the desired temp to be set. However, we'll we likely only be using for...

    Nest Thermostat 'W' wire connection

    I have an old dual-fuel heat pump system. The "fossil-fuel kit" (which arbitrates between propane furnace and heat pump) appears to be failing.

    Blaze King Thermostat and Bypass Mod (GASP!) (Chinook 20.2)

    Being in a small and efficient house, the teeniest of adjustments on the regulator have a huge impact on house temperature. So why not make it easier to be really pedantic about it? Pretty simple mod anyone can do. Might work with more that just the Chinook 20.2. If you're wondering why the...

    Apologies if I'm duplicating a thread, but the others I looked at didn't seem to be quite the same problem. Here goes: I have a Jotul GF 500 DV, purchased new in 2014. I use a Proflame transmitter as a thermostat and have had good results with that. In the last few years, however, I find...

    Blaze King Princess everything has gone haywire.

    This is a four month old stove. Three weeks ago, I noticed that our catalytic thermometer range had gone from within the painted inactive/active zones to at the coldest straight “south” and will heat more than 360 degrees around when I have it ripping. Not sure what happened? then two days...

    Quadra-Fire Santa Fe and Honeywell CT87K1004

    I tried replacing my broken Lux thermostat today with this simple CT87K1004 and the pellet stove just clicks repeatedly when there is no call for heat. Are these two not compatible? The stove works perfectly when I jump the R and W wires together manually. Thanks! Mike

    Lopi Yankee Bay insert thermostat

    I saw a posting for the Lopi Pioneer Bay that said an off the shelf thermostat could be used. Is this true for the Yankee Bay as well? I don't see how that would be connected, as there are just the 2 connections for wires on the stove. How does one connect a commercial thermostat to the...

    Hello, I have an older Blaze King wood stove insert (non-cat) = approximately 1982. I believe it may be the KFF-402.
