Hello,
Just curious what most people are doing with their stoves while at work all day. I ask not from a hesitation of it being lit while noone is home but from a pellet efficiency standpoint. Wondering if it is more efficient to just let it run on thermostat all day maintaining temperature (small amounts of pellets but starting frequently throughout the day) vs leaving it off all day, letting home temp drop and have it kick on the hour before you are home (doesnt run all day but needs to use more pellets to get the house back up to temp).
Essentially asking because I wonder if hooking up to a wifi thermostat is worth it pellet wise where right now I am just leaving it on 66 all day possibly wasting pellets.
Let me know what you think. Thermostat recommendations welcome as well.
