Dumb question and probably an even dumber comment....
Q. Wouldn't turning the controller knob all the way to max heat be the same as "on" - with an on and off switch?
C. I haven't had the need to go beyond 1/4 turn on the controller yet, even at 34F degrees. I want to be warm, not well-done.
There has to be a better answer for this.... maybe a higher setting on the controller would reduce the cycling, but it still shouldn't do that.
