When did Heatmor start using a stainless chimney?  Looks like a nice setup.

Feels Great, We don't have kids at home anymore so the hotter than normal water in faucets makes my wife happy, our showers have the anti-scalding faucets. I have to spend some time checking temps on stove as it seems to shut blower down around 170 and doesn't restart till around 150 I think, would like it at 170 to 180 as we have hydronic baseboard heat.

Keeping the temp up like that will increase the longevity of your stove.

180 and above for me!!

That is what I have read here, I just have to make sure of the exact temp before making adjustments, I was going off front temp gauge and using a handheld temp reader but the handheld is a guess. I am going to steal wifes cooking temp probe and rap it next to line and see what that says. I know aquastat only goes to 180 (I think) so maybe that is off.
