What are the benefits of setting it low or higher #I think mine came set at 6 now at 8.
-
I change mine a few times during the season. Smaller differential (7 or 8) in the fall and spring when demand is low to prevent too long of an idle and letting the coals go cold enough to not relight (but creosote build up becomes an issue) , and a larger differential (13 or 14) when the cold weather starts. The larger the diff the longer the burn time which should help keep creosote under control. These settings work well for me but may not work for others.

Do you notice a change in the amount of wood burned when going to bigger #?
-
I would say yes, but I am making the change from a mild weather temp setting which requires less wood in the first place to get my 12 hour burn time.
Have you tried different settings? Might be time for you to experiment a little bit and find what works best for your set-up.
