I got the stove last week and installed it on Thursday. Had it running by Thursday late afternoon. Great heat for teh whole house (we were excited!). I didn't have it on yesterday during the day and when I went home around 4:30 it was 63 in our house. (I have programmed thermostats to a low temp). So, I fire it up, and it took MANY hours for it to feel reasonable downstairs. We went to bed, and I turned it down, and when we woke up, the uptstairs was 64 degrees and downstairs was 66 deg. That didn't seem right to me....
So, if you have this stove or a similar stove, can you please help me with what I should do to optimize my heat. Do I leave it on setting 2 when not home, or keep it at 3 or 4? I want my ton to last, and not burn through, but I also want our house warm (that is why we spent 4K).
What is the better stetting also, the stove setting or the room temp setting...
If you don't mind, I would love someone to PM me their phone number so I can chat with an experienced burner
thanks.
I have the fresh air kit, and I need to buy the chimney type of brush, as well as the metal can for ashes to cool off in.
