I have a Santa Fe by Quadrafire. Been using the LUX mechanical thermo for years. Looking at getting a digital one, but would like heat only and would like to be able to adjust the " swing " settings. Can anyone suggest one ?

Also another question is when they say the swing rate is +1/-1 does that mean if its set to 70 that it will go up to 71 and turn off and then back on at 69 ?

Lux pro makes one that’s adjustable. No swing means if your set at 70 it kicks off and on one degree away from what your set at. +1 would be 2 degrees. At least that’s how it works on most. Some will turn it off at the same degree it’s set at if it’s there for a while.
 
I have the same stove and I use the QuadraFire programable thermostat that came with it. Simple set up a it works great. You can find info on the Quad web site. I’m sure it’s made by Honeywell and costs about the same as other programable thermostats.
