its definitely time for me to put in new rheostat for my insert blower. The fan speed went very low on me and I also made error of loading dry wood on deep coal bed. Lessons learned, no glowing but I could see that IR was in high 700’s in vent. I have a Jotul Rockland. It’s connected to about 15 feet of insulated heavy wall ss liner.
I noticed a faint “hot smell” with door closed. I know at one point a while back, stove had gotten hotter than this, so I don’t think this is a “new high temp” that stove reached. No noticeable smoke, smoke/CO alarms did not go off- just a mild hot smell when stove was at high temp this morning. It seemed to get better once stove got back down to normal cruising temp. Any thoughts?
