The stove is located in my baseement which is all field stone foundation therefore the reason to run my stove at max. I'm not in the market for a new stove so it is what it is for now.Rob R. wrote:Just my $0.02, but if you need to run the stove at 600 degrees to keep the house warm you need a larger (or additional) stove.
Windy, if you can add coal at lunchtime that will help smooth out the cycle.
Maybe going from max to 300-400d is expected. Someone who runs their stove at 400 with a temp swing down to 300 at shakedown wouldn't notice a dramatic cool down I suppose.
