I'm a new pellet stove owner, had the Enviro Maxx installed 12/3. We've just gone through our first ton of pellets (Curran Renewable Energy brand, out of Massena, NY if that matters). I'm sort of freaked out by how quickly we went through pellets. Yes, its a big stove with the potential to put out a lot of heat but we keep it on setting 2 out of 5 the majority of the time. We're heating 2600 sq feet, and admittedly it has been at a comfortable 68-70 most of the time (which is a far cry better than the 62 it was with the oil boiler). I guess I just need either reassurance that this usage isn't abnormal, or thoughts on why we might be going through pellets so quickly.
Also, I'm of the opinion we should have a thermostat installed. The husband thinks I'm crazy and has some notion in his mind that its not good for the stove to kick on and off. Thoughts?
