Hi all, thinking out loud here so bear with me. Looking for some suggestions for my 1200i. I’ve been using this stove for the last 11 years as my secondary heat when needed on the colder nights or when company is over. Using it as my primary heat source this winter and feel I have it dailed in well after some trial and error and plenty of YouTube videos. Question about the convection blower, is there a way to somehow have the two speed convection blower run on the high speed setting but still have my feed rate on low? Already upgraded snap disc #1 from the 125° it came with to 100° to get heat into room faster and cleaned the squirrel cage to make sure I’m getting optimal air flow. Can I buy the blower motor for the 1200 FS with the 3 wires that has feed and blower separate and just wire up another switch for blower? Can i somehow add a Rheostat? Or is the increase of pellet usage from low to medium feed to get my fan on high negligible and I’m over thinking this? Just trying to get the most cfm’s for my money. Thanks for any input or suggestions.
