Harman 40k stove: what stove temp setting for 40lb./ day

[cjweaver13]

I have a Harman Accentra fs stove 40k BTU and am trying to figure out in stove temp mode and high fan about what setting equals 1 bag/day? I know it will change depending on certain variables but looking for a ballpark if anybody has direct experience.

Not sure I see what you are trying to accomplish."Usage" per day means almost nothing, staying/keeping room warm is what is important.

I guess I'm just trying to establish a baseline to compare against when I start just leaving in room temp mode. Right now I run it once in the morning and once at night for a few hours in stove temp mode on feedrate 4 and stove temp 3-4 and then let the house come back down to temp and maybe using 1/2 bag a day or so, but not sure if that would be pretty constant or not once temps drop and the esp probe has to regulate a bit more. Not sure if that answers your question or not...

In stove temp mode you'll use the same amount of pellets at the same setting no matter the temp outside. But your house may not be warm.

How Your Harman Works -what your manual doesn't tell you..

Thanks Mod for correcting the title! Now, let's have some fun and stay warm! How your stove works - The facts are pretty straightforward, but how you get people to properly interpret the facts is the hard part. It's your toy, run it the way you want as long as you understand what's going on...

Maybe I asked the question poorly. What I should ask is: Is there a certain manual setting that burns approximately 1lb/hr, or 2lb/hr etc...?

Not that I know of, at 4 and 70f on the dials at -5f I use approx a bag a day on room temp mode, stove temp I only use for a quick burst of heat, P61A
