So I am having a quad 4100i installed and I am being told there is no option for the blower control other than the rheostat box on the cord. I find that almost impossible to believe considering the price of the stove. I was down to this and the hampton 3100i. I discussed these things at length with the dealers and went with the quad dealer as I liked them much more and everything I read was "go with who you trust/ has a reputation". I ran power into the firebox and now its useless. I might have gone with the hampton for this reason alone or saved a bunch of $$$ and gone with something cheaper that had controls mounted on the flashing or something?
So, am I being told correct? No other option?
Edit:
I think we came up with a solution as I posted in response below, I'll add those pics later if I get to done properly. The thing on the floor is a piece of sheet metal I was going to use as a shim but was not needed just folded over laying there. That is the control box for now just above it.
And...I have had a couple nice little fires already to test it out though it is barely cold enough to justify outside at night!
