Nice to have another T-Wolf owner on the site!  Love mine and am on my second season. My dad is on his third season with his.
I have my T-Stat at 180.  Jim, the manufacturer said it could be turned up to 190 if necessary, but he wouldn't go any higher than that. I imagine he would tell you not to install a fan if you were to talk to him.

I kinda have the same issues but I just blame the green wood and a lack of a good coal bed. I wad thinking about adding a chimney piece but I just try and add some more dry wood from my other pile that seems to do the trick for me. Let me know if you ever get a blower installed it would be interesting to see.  Good luck.

i have an 8 foot pipe on mine and it was dipping into the 150 range yesterday around 10am when i was outside, i pushed all the wood i loaded at 7am to the back and removed a wheel barrel of ash out of the front and then brought the wood back up front. let it get up to temp when i heard the draft door open i went outside and watched it only got to 165 before it started to climb back up. the 8 foot pipe helps a ton and so does cleaning out the old ash.

also dug up my line from boiler to house and found it was full of water. we got a downpour when i installed it and didnt think anything of it, got all the water out now my wood usage is down and the ground will finally hold snow on top of it without melting.

Hey jamesbodeis,

Are you using the parameter programming or the access to all coded parameters from the dwyer website you gave.  I need to change my settings today ( going with 190 top end and 180 low end ).  What is the differential you keep talking about?  Thanks for your help

Call Craig at ridgewood he will walk you thru it in a couple min.

I am accessing the all parameters. I run mine at 195 off, 190 on.

[automan77]

Does it run pretty good that high.  I'm at i85/175 I might  change the low end to 180. 

[jamesbodeis]

I'm happy with it there. Haven't tinkered with it at all to see if I could drop the low end any my radiators get hotter faster if I keep it high it seems. I am wondering g if mu pump in the house is up to the task but that's a warm weather project.

Thanks! Good to have another on here as well, maybe we can get Timber Wolf added in its own header?? I bought my used for a good guy. 3yrs old. Model 5000. Paid 2k for the stove, pumps, side arm and plentum. He had just got natural gas. stove is in excellent condition. I tried to fan option out. it worked good but i would have to do more modifications to make it work riht, one of which would be to fabricate a baffle system to direct the air. I ended up taking the fan off after my trial run and just turned my temps up a bit.  I have mine set at 175-185, and it is working great now. Im definitely a fan of BIG logs. I have found to get WAY longer burn times.
