    Looking to really dial in my Regency GCI60...which is basically the twin of the Enviro M55. (And pretty similar to the free standing GC60/M55 units as far as I can tell)

    What's a decent manometer to get? I scoped out Amazon. I think $100+ are a little above what I need. $35 ones any good? What features do I need? Are the dial ones any good?

    Hardwood pellets are pretty ashy in my stove. I would like to have the stove setup correctly and see if that has any effect on things. Last year, one of the techs at the stove store told me to just sight the flame. I'd rather get it set up to factory recommended settings and go from there.

    I'm with JT...

    After 4 years, I can pretty much dial mine in without the ManEater or whatever it's called!

    The Dwyer Mark II model 25 is pretty popular with the wood furnace crowd...should work well on a pellet eater. PM me if interested, I have a brand new one (unopened) with gauge oil and accessories that I don't need, priced right...

    Thanks everyone. What do you use to hook it up to the stove? Clear tubing and an adapter?

    Silicone hose and a little tapered adapter (Tapered snout)
    Most stoves will have a small hole in the firebox frame, floor to connect a gauge.

    If not, drill one.

    My Whits both have an access hole for set up procedures.
