I'm burnig my Enviro empress insert and I love it. It has 5 heat settings.
Most engines have an efficiency scale - in a car, 55mph gives you the most efficient reasonable speed/fuel ratio. Go 90 and your MPG drops. Does it work the same way for a pellet stove? It's been 18 deg. at night, and at a 1 it can't keep up. At a 4 it heats the place up.
Would it be better to run at a 2 or 3 consistently, or let it switch itself between a 4 and 1 by the thermostat?
