I have a freestanding woodstove and know very little about OWB's. My coworker has a Taylor OWB. I will try to pass on his question the best I can. Here is the situation:
His induced draft blower kicks on at 120. The induced draft blower kicks off at 140. The problem comes in when nobody is around to put wood in the box. If the fire starts to get low and the temp gets under 120, the blower starts, and stays on. Even if no one is there to put wood in.
I guess what he is getting at is, when the fire dies, the temp gets low and the blower just keeps cycling cold air through the firebox. Which lowers the temp of the water. Is there a way to have the blower turn off at 140, turn on at 120, and turn off again at 110?
I know very little about these things! Any useful ideas you may have would be appreciated. I will pass on any ideas you may have. Thanks!
