Running a Harman Wood Pellet Stove on Low Heat?

[Don2222]

On a Harman - What is Low Heat?

Is this the only stove where the top and sides get hot enough to burn your fingers?

I am testing out this Harman P61 now a P61a

After startup I set the controls to the recommended settngs.

Temperature control to 78 Deg F
Feeder Rate knob on 4
Mode to Room Temperature between L and H

The room temp probe is plugged in but coiled up and not hanging down which maybe a big mistake?

Wow the heat gun at 12 inches away was reading 515 Deg F This is great heat!
It was also sucking down the wood pellets.

I just tried these settings shown in pics below:

Temperature control to 72.5 Deg F
Feeder Rate knob on 2
Mode to Room Temperature on L

Now at 6 inches away I am reading 347.9 Deg F.
Pics below are at the above settings.

I did notice on these settings the fire is much closer to the auger and there is more ash on the edge of the burn pot.

I am burning CUBEX ! LOL I know they are Hot Pellets but I got 15 bags at $2 each bag!

Temperature control to 72.5 Deg F
Feeder Rate knob on 3
Mode to Room Temperature on L

Then I uncoiled the room temp probe. The room temp probe started working and shut the stove down. LOL
Also the 1st time I tried to start the stove, I did not have any flue vent connected. It did not start! LOL

My question is:
How do I turn the heat down? What is the best way?

Turn the heat down with the temperature knob. The Hi-Lo knob only controls the distribution blower speed. Your feed rate is probably right where it should be. Mine are always set for 3 - 3.5

Thanks DAKSY

I may put a T-Stat on one leg of the room probe and set the temperature knob to 90. Then I can control the temperature with the T-stat.

In the meantime I will do what you said.

Thanks again.
