I guess my Verti Flo timer is broke. Coal Trol is 349 vs. 540 for Verti Flo. Should I get Coal Trol?

Do they both do the same thing?

Bud....On your controller, do your indicator lights go out per the timer settings and the outlets still send power to the blowers and stoker motor? or do the indicator lights stay on all the time?

My Harman Magnum Stoker Vertiflow Timer Control Panel is shot. Have had two sent to replace it and both were not operational. One was in pieces in the packaging and the second one came intact yet when hooked up the stove it would not power up even with the 3 Amp Fuse in it.
Can I run the stove by just plugging it into 110 wall outlet?

No, needs times controlled, plus working safetys to not be a run a way train.
Seems very odd...not powering up, does a table lamp light up from that same 110 wall outlet?

Where did you get the replacements from and was it just the internal PCB or the complete control box??

With the second one, did the power indicator light come on when plugged in?

FYI....saw two listings for Harman mag stokers on facebook marketplace north of Altoona, PA by Rt 80. One had a working stove for $800 & a parts stove for $300 and the other listing had one as operational for $500. If controllers work on the $300 or $500 stove it may be a good investment as they'll provide more parts than just the controller....like maybe a hopper, grates, blowers, stoker motor, etc.
