First off, thanks for all the information from you guys and this forum, i have learned a lot but am still searching and learning new info daily.
I have the stove all set up, and am planning on running in room temp mode when the temperatures drop enough. Ideally, i would like to run the distribution blower as low as i can for noise purposes, but does running the blower slower have an effect on the stoves efficiency? Or does the units control system have this figured out? I do not really need the extra circulation from the blower, but i also do not want to waste any heat out the chimney. Has anyone monitored exhaust temps while running the blower at different speeds to see if it makes a difference?
I guess i just want to run the stove as effective and efficient as possible. I have also gone through the steps to adjust the low draft setting, and it indeed did need an adjustment, this should also help a little with efficiency.
Next question, i seen the thread where a harman was tied into a digital thermostat, which is pretty neat. Has anyone set one up with a thermostat system that can be controlled from a pc or smartphone? Its not something i really need, but it sure would be neat, and actually kind of handy due to my work schedule.
