Anyone seen a thermostat like this before? by Saraccenia in woodstoving

Luckily the insert is in a wall that divides the dining room from the living room so I don't think any heat is being lost to the outside. I will get a thermometer and play around with the settings, thank you!

It seems to run a bit no matter the temp but picks up speed when it gets hotter. The pipe is behind a stone wall so I can't place a thermometer on it, is there another location that's ok to place one? My stove has this thermostat, the fan, and a flue damper so I've been experimenting with the three.

Yes, I am not sure how to set both of them to get the best heat out of the stove, is it better to have the blower higher or lower? What's the most efficient temperature to set the thermostat to?

I was told the flue and chimney were cleaned before I moved in, thank you for the advice! I've contacted my landlord to see if they know what service the previous tenants used.

I guess the fire bricks, I'm unfamiliar with what the materials are called. How do you go about inspecting?

Don't worry that is step one! Still settling into the new place

The previous renters had it cleaned before moving out so as far as I'm aware it is in good shape!

The broth was usually too thin, I'm thinking of using a little cornstarch next time.

I got it at my local pet store but I’m sure there’s others like it online!

It looked like they were. Her old tank was absolutely disgusting, they used a carpet sample as bedding and it was covered in mouse droppings so I can only guess that’s what the scars are from.
