Brilliant! Unorthodox AND brilliant. Although, it would be a lot easier to run an eccentric weight on a motor whenever the auger is getting...
That's definitely an idea. Could do it with something as simple as a drop-down/multi-tap transformer, too. I'm in no rush to dig into it this...
Unrelated to the original post, but since this turned into modifications and hacking (and I'm the OP:)) .... The stove starves itself for...
I haven't looked for the part number of the auger motor, but it could also be as simple as dropping in a motor with slightly lower RPM (maybe...
Where's your sense of adventure? ;) I'd actually be looking at creating a drop-in custom replacement, not modifying the existing board.
Or, intercept the auger signal and drop every 6th or 7th one or change the duty cycle. :P Taking the control panel apart and reverse engineering...
Actually, my brain has caught up. The auger speed is as low as it will go (unless zero is a setting :)), so the feed rate won't change and pellet...
Thanks, imacman. Tried that. It didn't work. Does it need to be done on a cold start (off, unplug, plug-in)? With it at 1-4-1 and high/low, it...
I consolidated the thermostat. Stage 1: Heat pump Aux 1: Pellet stove (currently on high/low) Aux 2: Heat strip LFF-LBA-AOT are set for 1-4-1 on...
It's been a while, but figured it's worth a follow-up for anybody that might be in the same situation. The Whitfield is likely scrap metal...
No tstat. The stove is intended for helping out the heat pump when the outside temperature goes below freezing. It's on a good surge protector,...
That was a pleasant suprise.... Not only were the contractors on-time, they over-estimated labor and the install was $400 less. Somwhere around...
Igniter warming up, pellets catching, startup-mode and then settled. The first run through the stove generated an E-2 (burning/flame not...
There's really nothing I can complain about as far as "cosmetic blemishes". If I was hyper-critical, yes, but I'm fully satisfied with the...
That could be an interesting home-automation project. Arduino or Raspberry Pi used as a control system, which would also also perform...
The stove was delivered, but I haven't had the opportunity to do anything more than just make sure there was no obvious damage. I'll hopefully be...
The installer is planning on coring through the smoke box (I learned a term today...:)) for the OAK. On a slightly different topic; are there any...
The Englander/Timber-Ridge should be here tomorrow. Amazingly fast processing by AM/FM (and also quick communication from Englander). Stove is...
Both Englander and AM/FM were amazingly responsive (I vetted AM/FM through Englander). New insert has been ordered. A question for anybody...
First pellet stove, 2nd house with a fireplace. First house we converted from wood to gas insert. I grew up in the desert. This whole "cold"...
