i have a 55-shpepl stove since 2009. It has an OAK installed and has worked great since ive owned it and I mostly stick to one brand pellet that I like (wood heat). my stove has always run hot. I use either heat setting 1 or 3 from a choice of 1-9. on setting 1 it always runs around 250 at the vents (measured with infrared heat gun). on setting 3 it runs 375-400. any higher than 3 and it seemed the pellets would start to pile up over time and I was happy with the heat anyway on 3. also on 3 the stove will go into over heat mode meaning it will put the room blower on high basically all the time. setting 2 would always seem to be the exact same as 1 so I never use it.
now I am burning softwood pellets for the first time and the stove is running way hotter. around 275-300 on 1 and 450-475 on setting 3. I would like to have more adjustment in the heat range. I would expect this kind of heat on setting 8 or 9 and be able to use something inbetween cool and super hot. I checked and my stove is set on mode 2 and the lower buttons are on 1 5 1. is there a mode that would allow the stove to run cooler?
