This is my first year with a pellet stove. We have a QuadraFire, SanteFe and so far it has worked very well with no problems. We are burning LG Premium soft wood pellets that burn clean and the stove seem to work well with them. So my question is this, since the only control I have is a 3 position rocker switch with low, med, high is there a way to increase the fire box temp so that the convection fan will blow higher temps at lower speeds. Currently these are the temps I get:
Low 140 degrees, Medium 160 degrees and high 180 degrees. I've increased the feed amount but no improvement. Again it has been a great little stove and maybe what I'm getting is all I can get but just thought I'd ask.

Thanks.
Mike
