What effects if any is encountered by burning a pellet stove on it`s lowest setting? When I leave my P38 on low the fan doesn`t run but comes on occasionally for a few minutes , then off for longer periods.
The small fire (1"-1-1/2" high flame) looks to be burning correctly and the stove itself remains quite hot.
I posted a similar thread a few days ago and it got a lot of hits but no replies. I guess that either no one runs his P 38 at the lowest setting or they are OK with the fan cycling on and off.
I just feel like the stove is hot enough at the lowest setting to maintain a constant slow rate of air flow.
Added later on the day:
OK, I disconnected the distribution fan from the stove controller and connected it to a separate fan speed controller. Now I have total control over it and can run it continuously. I`ll just have to try it and see for myself I guess. When it gets colder this evening I`ll give it a go and report back.
