Hi,
This is my first post on this forum. I just purchased a USSC 6041 PT. This is my first pellet/multi fuel stove. I will be primarily burning wood pellets in it to heat my 950 SF house. It is not installed yet, hopefully soon. I was doing a pre installation inspection to familiarize myself with the controls. clean outs, etc., and to make sure everything was in order, and no defects. I'm also the type that has to know how everything works. I noticed the screws that hold one of the inside ash clean outs are backed out a fair amount allowing the clean out to be easily removed while the other side has the screws quite tight, and I had to actually loosen them to remove the clean out. Should these be loose or tight? I'm assuming they should be loose enough to allow the clean outs to be easily removed without tools. Another question is regarding the center damper slide. Should this be moved back and forth during operation periodically to allow ash to drop into the pan? I read this somewhere on the forum, but I didn't see it mentioned in the manual. The last questions are regarding a thermostat. I have read on here that it can utilize any thermostat as long as it is a millivolt unit. Does the installation require any soldering or just attaching the wires to some screws? I know it won't turn the unit off and on, only adjust the temp up and down. Sorry for all the newbie questions, and I'm sure I will have many more once I get it running. I'm looking forward to it.
Thanks In Advance,
