Running Room temp Manual 1st time.

[Tonyray]

been in the 40's today, damp,chilly, rain off/on.
Have had the Harman P61A on room temp/manual all day and it's been keeping the downstairs here
at 70 degrees...
I have timed the Auger and every 60 seconds it feeds some pellets keeping it at a hot maint burn.
this seems to be very economical as it has been doing this all day....
[On room auto the stove prob would have shut off/and re-ignited on at least 10x today.]
Now how would this pan out if I had it on stove temp auto #4 ?
would it be feeding every 60 seconds also to keep the Stove temp at #4 Stove setting which I assume would end up a 70 degree living space? [givin same crappy temperature day outside]..

Not really any answers to your questions, but on RTM, it's certainly seems more comfortable for your situation. You're not experiencing the temp swings you would on RTA. At some point on the outdoor temp scale, you'll find a maintenance burn will slowly overheat your space, and therefore RTA will be the way to go.

IMO, ST leaves WAY too much guessing for the operator and is highly dependent on outside temps staying the same in order to maintain the same comfort level inside.
