How does someone run a stove/insert at max BTU? By putting the heat on max? I keep my heat on 73ish but with the fan on just about max?

1. Will I burn my fan out?
2. Does putting a fan on max make the stove/insert use more pellets?

So the answer to question 1. Yes, you will eventually burn out your convection and combustion fan or augur motor if you continually run on high. You shouldn't need to run on high other than for quicker heat-ups in sub zero temperatures..unless your your trying to heat a 10,000 square foot home with a small stove.
As for number 2. Do you burn more gas when you press down on the gas pedal? Bill
