This is a new stove I am getting used to. Before I went to bed I filled up the Harman TL300 with hardwood (right around 20% moisture), got it going, turned down the air intake, shut the damper, and turned on the blower (wife was cold). Have not used blower yet. On my old stove it blew room air over thru the stove and out the other side. Several hours later I woke up and thought it was a little warm. Went to check the stove in the basement. Stove was right about to overfire on the Rutland thermometer I have (have not calibrated it to see how close it is) at 600 degrees and room was 100 degrees.
Does this blower encourage the fire or is it just blowing room air across the stove? I felt like it was cranking up the fire because I have had this much wood in it before with a low air intake setting? Manual was not very specific.
