For those of you that have 'em, how do you set your adjustable blowers? Do you find there's a more efficient setting (an art or variance to it) or do you just have it blowing at the maximum speed at which it'll spit out warm air?

I don't know when they started doing that.boonefrog said:HotCoals said:I like that the blower will shut off if the stove gets to cold to produce decent heat on my new BK.
Is the thermostat-based shutoff a newer feature? I'm still trying to identify my wood stove and it has that "cutoff" mode. It would be a good starting place to know what decade it's from...

is there any reason i should not double the airflow, assuming the temps of the stove are high.

Hey PH,
If my calculations are correct ;-), the more airflow on the stove, the more heat you suck out, the faster you have to burn to keep the fire going, and the more often you have to reload. Correct?
Those may or may not be considerations for you.
Has anyone ever had so much airflow that the stove couldn't keep up, and went out?

I run mine Med/Low all the time. If not it gets too hot!
If I don't run it at all it can almost get to the point of over heating.
