I was wondering if there is a method to determine what the CFT should be set at. I have a AK Kodiac hearth model in my basement. It seems like the covection fan is always running and it is only blowing out luke warm air. I would think that should shut off for the stove to build up some good heat and then kick on. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

AKHEARTH, I'm not familiar with your stove personaly but I would check to see if there is a control box for the blower on your stove. My stove has a black box on the side (Honeywell I believe) that has a white plunger type button on it. If it's pushed in the blower will run constant and not let your stove build any heat. Pull it out and it will turn on and off at the set temps. Good luck.

Thanks Ceccil. I apologize for not stating my set up initially. I must think people are mind readers.
I have the Coal-trol with T2 thermostat on an Alaskan Kodiac II Hearth model.

Thanks again.

Probably move this into the CoalTrol Section? One of the Coaltrol Guys can probably answer
