I have a fan blowng the hot air out of the room but the room also has 8 hi hats. Maybe losing energy there as well. Ill try moving the sensor.

If your construction is recent, the high hats are probably air tight. Look for the letters "AT" on the label inside. They may still need to be caulked around the edge of the can, but the can on these is sealed. Replacing old ones may be a lot of work, but the newer air tight / insulation contact (ATIC) cans are about $10 each.

Older construction, once I redo the room ll change the cans.

Try putting a fan on the floor blowing cold air towards the stove instead.

all of these "fixes" really cost you no money, are easy to implement, and what the heck.....nothing to lose!

Been keeping the stove really clean and it seems to have helped. Got a brush kit off amazon, connects to a drill and cleans the chambers well. I was storing a ton of pellets outside under a covered overhang and I think that effected the pellets. the ones I burned that were stored inside seem to burn hotter. House has been pretty comfy at like 67 - 70.
