I have been observing different temp settings VS pellet use on my Advance for the last few weeks. I have found that if I have the stove set at 4 feed rate, and temp at 68 I use the same amount of pellets as feed rate at 4 and temp at 72. The difference I noticed is that at the lower temp the Distribution fan does not run at high as much.

So What I would like to know is if anyone has, or knows how to change the Dist Fan to high all the time. I dont care if its on when the stove is in a 'low burn' mode as it will still be blowing warm air, even though directly in front of the stove it may Feel cool. I am thinking maybe a seperate powersupply and a relay ( just to turn the fan off when it should be totaly off) may be the way to go. This way I could set the temp even lower than 68 and still get the 68 room temp and hopefully use less pellets.

Any Ideas??
