I have also found I use less fuel to keep the house at a constant temp than lowering temp during the day or at night. I know this does not make sense but it works for some reason in my house.
iceman, just curious how small a fire your getting on 2.5?....i've noticed anything under 3 is very small, and not much heaticeman said:many might argue but with harman it is always better to run on stove mode......you can set your usage for temp etc.... room mode you cannot control when the sensor picks up any temp change it starts burning like mad to raise to what you have it set at... stove mode your room temp might go up or down but your usage will not change... its up to you to adjust according to what temp you want... i know in the winter i dont wanna use more than 1.5 bags a day so mine will get set to that on the coldest days..... sometimes i go to 2 bags aday (setting) for a short time (before bed and right when i get up) but that is only for 1-2 hours each way...
try setting the stove on 2.5 with a feed of 4-4.5 fan 3/4 try it see if it works and how far off from where you wanna be.... then go up .5 if you get over 3.5 turn your feed up... ideally you want the fire as close to the edge as possible without it shooting over burning pellets into the ash pan.....the closer to the edge the better the burn....but dont get burning pellets going over the edge .. if so the feed is to high
