Does anyone know if there is a fairly simple way to monitor the EKO controller from a remote location... like here at my computer desk. I did run an extra 1/2" conduit with the pex and electric.

You could then allow access thru the firewall to view from youi work computer. You would have to use a relay aqnd maybe a little led lamp to make a viewable fan indicator but I mostly want to see the temp reading and from that I can tell if its running and still has wood.
NoFossil what do you think?

Ordered it Thursday afternoon and it was here in maine last night. $57.05 to my door for the controller and 3ft type K thermocouple. I will be using it to monitor my stack temp to turn my combustion fan off when the temp drops below 190 deg. I'll also have it set so in case of an overheat and the stack gets up to 800 it will shut the fan off. Now I might have to find myself a webcam.
