temperature output from your stove

My sister in law insisted on a Harman when they got a pellet stove, about 3 years ago.

I think the model that they bought was a P68, I don't know if has a "ESP" device or not, BUT I do know that they DO get different temp readings with different brands of pellets they have burned in it.

Just got off of the phone with my brother about the diffference in the temps that I posted about his Harman.

He CORRECTED me, he said that his stove will keep the same heat settings with just about any brand of pellet that he uses,.

BUT he added some brands of pellets will burn more, while other brands will burn less to maintain the heat setting he keeps his stove set at.

In his opion different pellet brands DO make a difference in the amount (tons) needed per season to heat his home.

Dunno I don't measure but if I hold my hand in front of the blower i will get burned so ya it's hot as hell. Burning Okanagans.

That is the difference between pellets with a harman. As far as BTUs anyway.....

With stove temp on a Harman the temps out the distribution blower should be in the ball park from each other. There are slight variables that can alter the air temp but i dont see them being very significant. Examples i can think of are the inlet temp of the distibution fan will lead to a higher discharge. A taller flame i beleive will lead to a higher discharge than one with a lower flame. CFM of the fan would be the biggest example i can think of. Im sure there are slight variances between the fan output due to cleanliness of stove as well as fan changes that may have been done over the years. Like i said earlier they should all be "close" with the same given settings.
