I have tuned the stove in low and high heat settings. I was able to 80% efficiency and under 200 parts ppm CO with no no smoke in low and high fire. Will points 2-4 be plotted automatically based off low and high? Is there any problem with this tight of tuning.

Low Fire- Draft -8
Feed-1.45

High Fire- Draft- 200
Feed-4.25

With that low feed rate I would not be surprised if fire goes out in warmer weather. When stove runs on 1 for a long period of time would not be surprised if it does not feed enough pellets to keep fire going.
 
Yes

Is there a combustion reading i should be looking for?
 
I purchased a new burn pot for mine since my old one was bent up etc. With the better airflow of the new pot I had to increase the feed rate slightly in order for it to not burn out when running on low for extended periods. Bumped from 1.65 to 1.75
