The age of the stove and the kind control panel that came with the stove will determine weather or not the stove will work as a on / off or high / low operation if the stove is using a solid state controls it is high / low and if it is using a PC board then it will operate as a on / off remember that using a thermostat will reduce the life of your igniter by 35% and most likely increase your ash build up in the firebox and chimney which means more cleaning...efficiency on stoves using a thermostat is reduced during start up. The connections for the UL thermostat wire are located on the back of the control board and be sure to use a 24v (low voltage) thermostat and do not use more then 20' of wire
