this past week i have been experimenting with the "room temp " mode i was always against because i would rather just let the stove run on low
however i have been trying it this past week
I am truly impressed.. my room temp does saty within a .5 degree of what it is set at!
the furthest room away is 5 degrees cooler
when i lock up the house for the night the temp in the other room drops.. but as soon as i open the door again the stove kciks itself right up again and everything is good!
funny though this stove is rated for 1800 sq ft and i am only doing 700 at the most but it does have a hallway and other twists
from the looks of it i am using less pellets!!
Now i am just waiting to get my PE summit insert installed!! the longer i wait the more i am leaning on trying to do it myself!!
3.5 cords coming monday morning ... i have about 2 cords out back for next year and will be getting more as time goes by (the free stuff)
heres my breakdown
new summit 2100
liner plus plate & stove connector 358
stove delivery and install 400
2 tons of pellets 420
3.5 cords of wood 520
total 3798
oil at todays prices Cold winter 1000g = 3000
warm winter 750g = 2250
plus 2 tons pellets 420
warm winter total 2670
cold winter 3420
big investment for me but this year but next year will be heating 3000 sq + for less than 1000 usd!
Thank you all!!
