I am in my 2nd season with a Harmon p35i. In warmer Temps (32 or so) I will run the stove on room temperature. Once it gets colder,I like to have it on stove temperature so that it doesn't start and stop all day. But this year, I am noticing that on stove temp, I can't get it to burn low enough. Feed rate is on 4. Temp dial is all the way down. I live in a split, the outside temp is in 20s and the house is 74. I don't need 74 and it is burning a bag a day. Last year I know that I was able to get a lower burn. Is it possible that the esp has anything to do with this?
 
The ESP controls everything on stove temp. Is it clean?
 
.... etc .... I live in a split, the outside temp is in 20s and the house is 74. I don't need 74 and it is burning a bag a day.

:confused: Wow!
 
It was just that maintaining 74 inside when outside was 20 with just 1 bag a day is like "WOW" good.

It was a friendly jest.

I was unable to help much with the ESP deal.
 
I will look at that. Thanks
The esp was caked with ash . Running much better now. House around 69 and probably burning about 2lbs per hour on lowest setting. The guy that did the instal last year told me that I would be able to go as low as 1pound per hour but I have never achieved that
