It started running away again, so nothing's changed. It ran about 24 hours at a temps around 340, Temperatures dropped outside and climbed inside, so I checked it and it was at 365 and climbing. I turned it down to 2, which won't be warm enough, so I'll turn it back up when it hits that point or before bed, and see what it like in the morning.
I forget. Does this have outside air? At 365F, you might be at idle, it can't regulate anymore.

Idle is somewhere around 250-270. And no, drawing from inside. Been like that since day 1. This has been going on for like 2 months. And every time I shut it down and restart it those numbers change. I'll be nursing it through the night and shutting it off tomorrow, When I start it back up Tuesday I'll see different numbers. Idles pretty consistent, it's at 3 and above is where it all starts to go stupid, just like start up did. From the looks of the weather I won't be running it for more then a week and the temps are going to be to hot any way. I've not had issues at 1 and 2. I'm looking to see if there's a pattern, but as for what the problem is I'm lost, there's nothing more to fix. And it this point unless I don't need to use 3 or higher, it's useless. Except if it's really cold outside,then it runs above the temperatures it's running away at. And at this point the tech has no answers either. So it will be junk come summer. Right now it's dropping from 77, when it hits 72ish, I'm turning it back up.

You still have room mode to try but I'd not keep the probe in the back of the stove, although you can try that first. Just keep it low about a foot away from the back of the stove in the room air flow. Free to try.
