OK all of you Mt. Vernon AE owners, how many of you are using the sunflower setting during this cold snap?

If not do you know what your missing?

Sure it eats some pellets but the heat is unbelievable!
 
Running softwood on medium output. House is about 71, 8 outside and falling. Never tried sunflower. How long does a bag last on it?

Switch to Sunflower setting, -5 flame height to start and see how your stove responds.

Never timed it but you will probably go through 3 bags a day.

Oh forgot to mention, low setting on heat output!
