Thermostat location

I have been reading on here and also in my Keystoker 90 manual that the therm should be located near the stove (also saw this about the coal-trol). My stove is downstairs, and we live upstairs so I located mine upstairs in the living room. It seems to work well this way, am I correct in my placement or should I move it downstairs near the stove? I would think my upstairs wouldn't reach proper temp because the therm would get satisfied very quickly and shut off the feed.

(I have a standard non programmable digital therm)

Your thermostat can be located anywhere you want it to be located.

Dude, if it ain't broke, don't fix it--you're the only one that knows what works in your particular setting--what ya got sounds good to me--over thinking constantly gets us all in trouble

my 'stat is upstairs, stoker is downstairs....

that's what they make 20' of 'stat wire for!!

The reason it says to keep it in the same room is because this stove isn't designed to operate like a central furnace. Problems arise if you have the thermostat in another room and someone closes a door or something that keeps the thermostat from seeing any heat produced by the stove so it runs and runs and runs but cannot satisfy the thermostat.

As long as there's nothing to keep the warm air from this stove from reaching the thermostat, you'll be fine

Yep, put it where you want it. (just don't tell anybody and it'll work fine).

Ok, cool. I tend to overanalyze things lol. I didn't realize until after I posted that they are thinking you have the stove on the floor you want to heat. Yes, I took the door off the hinges for the stairwell so there is no danger of a closed door to the downstairs.
