Feeling the Heat

I think I understand how the esp wrks reading the thead above a few times. My question is this. Let's say it's cold out 9 degrees and your temp is at 5. Will room temp vrs stove temp be any warmer on one vrs the other .from what I understand room temp is when it hits the probe then settled down and stove temp is what degrees the stove is at.i notice 75 room temp seems to be warmer than if I'm In Stove temp at 5.

Not really sure what you are asking. On "room temp" the heat output is controlled by the temperature sensor in the room. When the room gets below the set temperature...the sensor tells the stove to put out more heat. In "stove temp" the ESP controls the burn to keet the exhaust temp constant. Think of room temp as a "thermostat", and stove temp as "low-med-high." No real correlation between the two settings.

Thanx what confused me was the stove low-med-high mode.i thought that even on low or med in a good insulated house.it would continue to give heat because a probe is not stopping it. Thus giving better heat out put.

In room temp mode the stove is trying to keep the temperature in the room at a constant based on the setting. If set at 70 it will ramp the stove up or down to keep the temperature close to 70. In Stove temp mode the setting of the stove puts out a more or less constant amount of BTUs. So basically you're comparing apples to oranges. One is based on temperature and the other is based on BTU output. If it is 30 degrees outside and your house looses 20,000 BTUs per hour at that temperature you have to supplement that loss with 20,000 BTUs to stay at the same temperature. Put in less and the room temp goes down. Put in more and the room temp goes up. If the temp outside falls to 0 the heat loss is going to go up, so you might now be loosing 45,000 BTUs an hour. In room temp mode the stove will ramp up and burn more pellets to keep the room at a constant temp. In stove temp mode you will have to turn up the dial to a higher number to compensate for the added heat loss. When the temp rises you'll have to turn the dial back down and so forth.
