Two bags in 24 hrs is normal for me ( cape cod, stove installed in basement). If it's warm I do a little better. Try stove mode, works here.Bohle said:Sorry about the long delay in posts, No internet at home (love the country...).
I had the guy out to look at the stove Thurs. He hooked up his little machine to tell me if everything was working. He said everything seemed fine. He said that the probe was too close to the stove. So I took his advice and moved it. I hooked up a programmable thermostat and put it about 25 feet away in the kitchen. Right now it keeps the house at about 71-74 and uses 2 bags in 24 hours.
I would be interested in other pellets. I got my stove and pellets from Paragon Energy in Kzoo.
I read in the local paper someone selling a ton of "hardwood pellets" for 120$ a ton but you have to buy a minimum of 5 tons. I was going to call and see if I could buy 10 bags and try.
2 bags in 24 hours isn't great but this is a start at least. I think I am going to try stove mode soon.
Thank you
I think the two bags a day is reasonable for a stove that size and a space that size, the only stoves that burn a bag a day are the smallest, usually in a smaller space.Bohle said:I feel it is doing better, I burn 2 bags a day (still I feel it is a little high considering the weather has been 25-36F). I also hooked it up to a programmable thermostat so I have it turn down to 62 degrees when no one is home and back up to 71 when we are home. Also down at bed time.
Furnace hasn't kicked on since I got the stove.
