A post by skinanbones on a recent PE thread got me wondering about this technology. Rather than hijack, like any self-respecting member this seemed worth a new thread. I've read the numerous write-ups and tests, but have not run across an account for the thermal variation mentioned below.
Is EBT going away? That would say something in itself.
I recall a member just closed it off and thought the stove worked better.
I cannot see how EBT can be very accurate. It is located on the bottom in an airspace, the stove heat source can be either through metal and stove brick, or above that plus a potentially large pile of insulating ashes. With those variations, and others, I can't see how EBT can be counted upon to reliably regulate air flow.
I'm tempted to block her off myself.
