How old is it?
How big is the fire in the unit?

In the morning call England's Stove Works customer service at 1-800-245-6489. Ask for Scott or Mike.

Tell them that you can't get warm sitting "necked" on your stove.

we need a bit more info ......
If it is not a new unit and you have a decent flame inside with no heat output it sounds like it needs a good cleaning.
The heat exchangers could be plugged with flyash and if the flame is lazy (that's orange colored and about as active as a candle)
chances are you have a problem with the air intake or discharge, or again the stove is dirty..
Give us the feed rates etc. Knob posistions etc. I'm not familiar with englander but they are here on this site and can help you more than me. Also answer the questions from MSG, I'm sure Mike will be here by the end of tonight (just a hunch) ;-) and he'll be able to narrow it down more than us. But the more info the better.....

ok, need to find out some particulars about the unit and the install, if the unit is not getting even hot to the touch then somthing is amiss. would be best if you could give me a call (preferrably if you can be at the stove) at 800-245-6489 , ask for mike. 25-pdv should not have any trouble heating that size area, so somthing isnt normal , if you can call me while you are at the unit i can direct you from there to correct whatever is causing this. seriously , give me a call i can figure this out.

Mike.... your awesome...... Not many would do what you are doing........ Well besides Harryback...... We need more people like you guy's........
Oh and my hunch was right ............

ok GVA , im officially blushing, actually if the present owner bought it used, it may have been previously hooked to a thermostat. if so, when removed the stat wires were probably removed or just cut , leaving an open circuit on the thermostat hookup, the unit will then run on "low" no matter how high the heat range is turned up. if our customer reads this, check on the back of the circuit board , in the lower right hand corner of the board there is a black "cube" ,. this is the t-stat hookup. if there are wires there, twist them together, its a "millivolt" circuit , so it wont shock you. i could go into more details about this but it would get long winded, im hoping our "poster" will pm me and i can explain this in more detail.


thanks GVA, that kind of recognition from one's peers is priceless
