Feeling the Heat
What height is your flame steady at at 1/2 open on medium? When they say in the book that the flame should be 4-8 inches on high, is that constant or just peaking? Curious. Trying placement scenarios with my thermostat. If in the same room it cycles too much. Around the corner of the opening of the room it is in it cycles for long times and sometimes doesn't get to temp to cycle so playing with the temperature setting. Any info?
I run on high 24/7. 8" should be the peak flame height. I can't seem to get in the range o 4 - 8 any longer. It's more like 4 - 10 or 12 and my feed gate is closed almost all the way. I don't want to close any more to guarantee good starts.
With my stove being in the basement I set the tstat, (which is also in basement), to give a comfortable temperature on the 1st floor, this seems to work well.
Maybe a small fan blowing into the area where the tstat is will help it cycle better.
