Hello everyone. My wife and I purchased a home last year that came with what I believe is a Resolute III stove (2 door front). After having it inspected this past spring, we have begun firing it up this Fall.
The stove has been working perfectly. My only question is in regard to the thermostat.
We have been able to fire the stove up and get a good hot fire, run all night in horizontal draft mode, etc. However, I noticed the other day when playing with the thermostat setting that pointing the thermostat rod straight up (middle of the setting range) it basically dwindled the fire from 550*F to about 300*F - which I believe is the bottom of the recommended operating range. I was somewhat expecting it to keep a "medium temperature" for the operating range.
I noticed it appears you can adjust the chain length between the coil and the flapper. Is there a written procedure to set this correctly? Or is it something you adjust by trial and error (or is this not supposed to be adjustable, and maybe this was a modification/repair?).
