General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: Temp at the vent?

« on: January 25, 2013, 12:56:13 PM »

checked all speeds of water pump and fan blower speed today for me seems high water speed high fan speed use to run it on medium and medium my results. now ever budys will be totally different u just have to try it and see but by me changing settings seemed to burn a little less wood temp at register went up and it took around seven minutes off how long the furnace ran. now that being said different  wood could change burn time register heat like scott said is all different but what i think shows it is heating better is the time it took off running time i know weather wind and cold makes a difference. but its been close temps and changed that much  i would think that is better friend has same set up he gets more out of his on medium and low fan. like scott said every single one will be totally different just have to mess with them and see what makes you smile. or like my brother in law said dont know what it is dont care thats all i know im warm and im not buying propane. have a good weekend all

thanks i ordered the ranco 1110000 today  they say the remote works up to 400 feet away can you be able to put a remote temp in the house to read the stove temp from inside if so what to they call it and can i get it from the same place dont see anything on there myself. did you put the  hole for the well in the top in the back by the water pump outlet . I thought that would be a good place
