    There are many paths to the top of the mountain, but the view from the top is the same

    I will say, now that it has been two days, it does seem as the stove temp mode
    chews up a few more pellets, than the high temp/low feed rate method..
    but I will keep watching it...
    I did actually "watch" the flame last night, in the stove mode,
    while watching "Raymond".. and the flame intensity does seem to flux more than the other way.
    Which is probly why it uses more fuel.. maybe.
    But a couple of days, imo, is not enough to draw a definitive conclusion..
    Will keep at it for a little more.

    Trust me.... the Harman is awesome... you can set it and forget it, to be sure.
    All this tinkering, is just because you can... and trying to squeeze the most
    out of that lonely pellet....
    Or, in my case, trying to get the stove to do 80% of the job,
    and the furnace to do 20%, (for example)...
    I can do either, or both, it really doesn't matter to me.
    I'm doing it, because it's something to do, and I enjoy it...
    If I were "really" serious... I'd still be using coal...
    Or now... gas...

    Did a little extra cleaning and maintenance on the stove today . The sun was out and the house was warm so thought I'd take advantage . :dremel:

    Stoves running 24 hours at present and the shack is comfy.
    Buckets full of shell sit by the stove, ready to give their warmth :thumbs:
