So per my recent posts I finalized my new stove pipe on my charmaster aka creosote king. Combined with poor maintenance, user error, and the nature of the beast she was gummed up!
So I couldn't help myself but to give it my first maiden voyage. She lit great and warmed up nicely but I have a few questions on what I should expect from this charmaster or possibly any furnace. After an hour of closely monitoring it, I turned the thermostat to 75. It was 70. The unit opened the draft door. It held it open for as long as I had the thermostat set. Although the blower never came on. I read in the manual there is a low limit and high limit switch. Should be 120 and 170. I assume the blower did not come on because the temperature was not achieved in the exchanger?? I did manually turn the blower on- works good. Felt minor heat at vents.
I guess I am troubleshooting or experimenting with it to understand it more, especially as it gets colder soon. Also if any tips, please share. I've taken notes of many of the things covered in my other thread. I must be careful reading from the manual- as they suggest many controversial things.
