which snapdisk to get and where to mount?

[rwhite]

Trying to come up with something that will turn the blower when the temp drops. I know a lot of blowers use a snap disk. Which is the best one to get (any idea of part #). The guy at the hardware store showed me some but they had plastic parts on them so I was unsure about that. Any idea where it should be mounted?

Why not call Osburn dealer?

I got a StoveStat. It does have plastic parts, but they last. I put mine on the handle side of the door frame.

This is the area they mounted ours (don't ask why) I'll find out Monday.

I mounted mine on the bottom of the stove by the fan control. Worked great until the ash pan filled up and acted as insulation from the stoves heat. Then it would take forever to kick on. So out it came. Haven't gotten around to re-installing it yet but I'm thinking it will go on the side somewhere.

I'm thinking at this point rather than try the snap disk I may use a appliance thermostat or timer and see how that treats me. I pretty well have an idea when it needs to shut down overnight.
