I have a Classic Bay 1200 free standing stove that is 2 years old. By design, the convection blower doesn't kick in until it reaches 120 degrees. I realize that this is controlled by the snap disc. I want the blower to kick in earlier. Does anyone know if a lower temperature (maybe 100-110 degrees) snap disc is available? Thanks in advance for any/all replies.

They do make snap discs that will kick on and off at lower temperatures than what you currently have. Search amazon for a 100 degree snap disc. Need to make sure it’ll fit your stove because I doubt Quadra-fire would make one for it. Not sure why you’d want a lower limit switch though. Stove needs to heat up to a certain point to work efficiently.
