How to lower the level of heat output?

[garth_2022]

I have the Hi500/CI2700. I load up every 8 hours in my 1600 square foot ranch (minus the garage space). I close the bypass and draft control 100% when I go over 500 degrees and engage the fan.
My living rooms oftentimes is 78 degrees, sometimes more. I have a ceiling fan in the dining room that moves the air to the back rooms, down a hallway, getting them to 68-72.
Is there a way I can get lower heat output so that the living room is in the 72-74 range? Sure, turning off the stove fan would most likely do that, but I think then the heat wont get to the rest of the house.

Feed less wood and live with shorter burn times.

Put a fan on the floor at the cold end of the hallway, turn it on low blowing towards the stove.

That's what I figured, but was thinking there was some magic trick alternative.

What you need to do instead of lowering the heat output, you need to increase the circulation of the heat to the cooler rooms.

Hi, It's been a couple months since you posted about your heat circulation issues. Did you resolve anything so far?

I think it was more of a not so cold early season. The temps were in the upper 30's to low 40's and this beast puts out a lot of heat. Once we had a few nights in the teens and daytime highs only in the 20's, it was more reasonable of 74 or so in the living room. Touch time getting the back rooms up to a higher than 66, but the supplemental baseboard heating kicks in for a very short time to do that.
The 16" high mounted fan on low to push from living room towards back of house definitely gets some heat moving back there.

OK; good. I've had a pretty steep learning curve with getting my house comfortable as well. Take care. J
