Why add the Fuel Saver Rheostat kit to my stove?: Adding this kit can improve the BTU output by 10% by allowing you to 'fine tune' the combustion air. (The standard combustion blower operates at constant speed.) The original reason for its manufacture was so that older stoves can use the negative draft kits. Some older stoves do not have the allen screws in the back to adjust airflow to optimize for wood pellets and could not be converted without this rheostat kit. Older corn stoves include, CornFlame, CornGlo, SnowFlame, and some older AmaizAblaze (Nesco Corn Stoves) stoves. Increasing combustion air pressure may increase the BTU output, but will also increase fuel consumption.
For what other reason would I add the Rheostat kit to my stove? : Since the negative draft kits were introduced, we have learned that the safety feature built into the exhaust motor can actually shut down the exhaust motor when you did not want or expect that to happen. The safety feature is a 270 degree thermo-disc internal to the motor. Amaizablaze is in search of a higher temp model, but no joy so far. The motor temperature may rise above 270 degrees when you have your room blower on low. This causes more heat to build up in the firebox and exhaust, thus exceeding 270 degrees and abruptly shutting down the exhause blower motor. The result is loss of fire and the abrupt stop causes more smoke than normal that you may smell in your home (the smell of burnt cornbread). The Rheostat allows you to slow the rate of exhaust flow and keep the exhaust temp lower by diverting it to the combustion chamber, and preventing the safety device engagement.
Will the Rheostate Kit save me money?: YES!! Test reveal that the 2100 efficiency is increased by as much as 14%! You should save the cost of the Rheostat within a month or so and enjoy fuel savings for years to come.
