I think it works the opposite.Matthaus wrote:I think you are confused about the effect of lowering and raising ash temp, 142 would make it ash sooner since it would drop off that temp quicker. The lower the ash temp the less it ashes.
The unit will take longer to shake if the switch is set at a higher temp. It will take the ash longer to heat up enough to trigger the switch. More time=more ashes.
I'll bet that the heat retention characteristics of the ash were calculated into this design. Ash is an insulator.
