So, I was testing the Juniata out the other night. It was burning good all evening and when I went to bed. Woke up around 2:30am and still burning good. When I got up in the morning around 6am, the stove was in an idle mode. Barely burning and throwing very minimal heat. The temp reading in the garage was 61 despite the thermostat being set to 65. Not sure what would cause this. It was fine when I went to bed. I know that there is a MIN and MAX setting on the thermostat. That might have something to do with it? I've never touched the adjustment screw on the back of the stove, as I've read it isn't necessary with a thermostat set up. I'm having trouble understanding why the stoker would burn hot from 7pm until sometime around 5am and then go into an idle. Shouldn't it burn based on what the thermostat is set to? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

I'm currently at work, but I will post all of the current settings on the unit once I get home.
