I have a Breckwell Big E build in September 2008. I have a spare Honeywell TH832WF thermostat that I would like to wire to it. Will this thermostat work and if so where should I land the wire on it?

thank you
 
Thw wires go to the back side of the control board. They will work on tsat in on/off or high/low. H/L is more difficult because of damper adjustment. Set the hi to #3 and get the fire to burn good then maybe it will stay lit on low. Any higher it will go out when it hits low/#1

Thank you, Where will the wires land on the back of the TSTAT?
 
Tstat paperwork should have that info.

No idea I don’t have a need for one so i never looked into it. There are some that have and I’m sure they will pop in

My stove never goes higher than 3 and have the damper set so it works 3/1 with no issues..

99% of all biomass stoves (not add on furnaces) are all millivolt and use cheapo T'stats. I suggest a no set back Honeywell digital for 12 bucks.
 
This pellet stove is in my shop and I would like to be able to adjust it and keep an eye on the temp from around the place. I have been looking for a WiFi millivolt TSTAT.
