I don't know how your temperatures can drop that fast. You must have some serious heat losses.
One more thing to suggest. Set the heat differential to 1.5 degrees (or maybe even 1 degree). That will have the stove correct temperature errors more quickly.
 
changing to sunflower setting wont do that
Your right sorry got confused with changing the altitude adjustment.

you guys have a lot more heat loss than me. LMPS losses 2.5 degrees during an autoclean cycle? Mine will satisfy the stat and cycle off even if its in the teens outside, unless its windier than chit. you guys must smoke thru 2-3 bags a day at that rate...

Yes lost 2.5 degress. I am starting to really think an energy audit needs to be done as I agree I am losing a lot of heat and it looks like more an more its my house. Yes when its cold out 2 bags is normal, real cold 2.5 to 3.

I can do this but I am calling for it to 75 degrees and it never reaches it so the stove does not shut down because it is satisfying the thermostat, it is only shutting down to auto clean.

The house was 69 when I got up this morning but it was 27 which is up from 11.4 when I went to bed.
The changes Harvey and Oldmountvernon have suggested have helped as I said at this point I think its more my house.
 
ya i got r30 batts with a chit load of blown in on top. blown in the walls too can't remember the r value...
 
Try manual high output swing 1.5 or 2 it should crank. pellets matter too just remember on Auto you really have to over shoot the stat most cases they say 2 degrees but i go more and i think you need to as well i would try 81 overnight
I will give a try
