Air intake adjustments on pellet stoves?

[alexdrozd]

I've read many posts about adjusting the air intake on other brands of inserts. I have a Quad 1200i and see nothing in the owner's manual about this so I assume it is set at the factory with no adjustment needed. Is it just made differently than others? Do most other stoves need adjusting? Is this feature a plus or a negative?

Many stoves need air intake adjusting. It is a plus not to have to change the air intake setting, nothing to fool with or mess up. I run mine on medium all the time, I feel it is most efficient that way, also it burns clean on medium.

I would agree that it IS a plus to not have to adjust it. However, it would really suck to have to adjust it and not have any way to do it. Just me.

Actually, Groucho Marx does.

Knew I'd heard it somewhere years ago and took it to heart. Would have credited the source if I could have remembered. Wasn't trying to claim originality, apologies if it seemed that way.

Which stoves besides Quads don't have air intake adjustment?

 

[alexdrozd]

Yes, on the Quad the exhaust motor does regulate according to the feed rate. But I read about all these other people having all kinds of questions on the air intake adjustment. How did Englander and Quad find a way around it?

Technology, that is why they cost big bucks, sure glad I bought one. On burn in I set up the feed rate and put it on thermostat, just need to clean. Except for the cleaning and adding pellets, it is just like my oil fired furnace.
