Ups just dropped off my new controller.I'm going to read up on it and install.I will report back soon
 
Looking forward to hearing about what it does and how it works.

BTW, what is a "Garn vertical?" Is it just that the exhaust goes out the top? If so, how does it deal with the condensate that occurs early in the burn?
 
Those got delivered fast...UPS must be working overtime!!! Can't wait to hear how these preform as I really like the idea of shutting the fan off when the flue temp is close to the water temp. This seems like a excellent way to control the Garn, allot better than just a timer.
 
I have no condensation problems.Even with the first fire.Yes my chimney is vertical
 
I am not sure about the physical differences, but the vertical chimney version costs slightly less, but the chimney costs slightly more.

Uncommon to see a photo of a vertical install (hint)
 
I'm not good on a computer.One finger typing.How to post pictures are on my to do list
