P 61 changing settings by itself

Technician was here. It started up find, is running at the temps it's suppose to, despite flame size etc. So for now I'm happy. 😁

That's great news - it's always nice to have a second opinion. And with this cold coming on the weekend we need our stoves. I am going to do my 3 week cleaning tomorrow when the weather is "warm". I have been packing down the ashes (not too hard) and could go another week but no need.

Yup it was 4f here this morning, back up didn't come on, but this weekend it will. 4f is going to look nice compared to what's coming. I do a clean every 2-3 weeks and was told by the tech once a week. None of the holes were plugged in the burn pot. He stuck the tester on and all the ESP numbers were good. And I used Windex on the window, wow way better then any of these "special purpose" glass cleaners. Stay warm, from Saturday on, it's frozen pipes weather. Just a note, I ran the Quadrafire when I turned the Harman off and it performed quite well by itself heating the place at single digit temps. 👍

There's a shot about an hour after working on it. That's set on 4. Almost perfect. 🥳. Note the super clean glass. 😁

Never did figure out what the problem was either. Started and still running perfect.

Here's something most interesting. It's been running on 6 for the last 3 days. Been checking the internal temps and it's been around 440f. So 10:30 this morning I hear it expanding. Creeking. I go out and it's blazing away at 505f. Hasn't been touched, so it just turned itself up to past 7. Any explanation for that? The thing has a mind of its own. No change in weather/ temps. And I go back 10 minutes later, back to 440.

It’ll “blaze” until it’s reached and satisfied the ESP regardless of your settings.

That sounds like the ESP probe doing something funny

Aww okay, I kind of figured that.

It has ghosts. It's the first time I've caught it doing that kind of thing. Had it 3 years. You ready for the power outages coming Sunday/Monday?

I just have to get some groceries and then I'm ready. I hope the power does not go out though. The last time I looked the storm might head east of me. It's been cold this winter, and whatever snow we've had lately is still around. I have been burning more pellets than I remember burning last year, but I only got it in Feb. I think I might be burning 1 1/2 bags a day. I still have lots left, and Home Depot has 1104 in stock which is not that much. They must have ordered more.
