    Not with no T stat & distilled water. I’m surprised you even got above 150-160 in the cool weather running like that

    hows your thermostate

    I ended up getting my fan turn on / turn off set points altered on my chip to better suit the 180 deg T stat. My fans now come on at 188 deg F & off T 170 deg f Maybe think about sending your chip back & re-burned to suit the new 180 T stat?

    hows your thermostate
