A few people have spend the money to get one and have a season or two on them now. Are they worth it? Do you notice using less fuel? More even heat?

Hi Sflem849, currious about the "TROL" myself. You may want to post in LMF forum too, as this is an option on LMF products. Let's see who responds. Kind of slow here lately.

I figured I would just go here since the LMF forum only has four posts total. I actually have a LMF.

I agree. Sure has been slow since the switch to the new forum. Probably doesn't hurt that natural gas is down and corn is way up.

I would love to hear more about it. There sure was plenty of talk when it came out, but seems pretty quiet now. Seems to me it would take a long time to save $400 but if it is more convienient it would be worth something.

Edit - I forgot to mention a guy approched my corn burner dealer trying to get a LMJ/LDJ super cheap to try out a different version of the corntrol. My dealer didn't know much about it, but thought it was going to be a hybrid of the corntrol and that mod where you put the extra timer in to stop long high fire periods.

Has anybody seen smoke in the house problems? My dealer mentioned a person he is going to see this weekend that had a smoke smell in the house all the time. We were wondering if this is because the fire smolders too much??? Maybe because it doesn't go on high fire enough to get a clean burn. I would assume that wouldn't be a problem if you had enough draft and good seals.

If the fire is too low in the burn pot, the blower pushes it back up the feed flighting into the bin. For burning pellets, I added LDJ's upgrade that puts air back down the end of the flighting into the burn pot flighting. Does the job, no smoke or smoke smell.
