This is the 3rd time its happened to me, the dang stove pipe from the stove top to the class a will glow red, my ir meter cant read it because it only goes to 999F.
heres what im doing (wrong probably)
open temp to high
open cat bypass
open loading door.
load as many pallet pieces as i can get into the princess stove
once i get a fire established, i close the loading door.
go ahead and go to another room, waiting for the cat temp to come up.
well next thing you know i smell hot metal. go back in the room, the dang stove pipe glowing reddish, so i shut the bypass for the cat, and close the temp controll to as low as it goes.
the temp of the stove top was only 300F or so, the temp of the sovepipe was 999f+ if my HF IR meter is good, and i think it is. anyhow after i close it down, its withing a minute i got 400F or so stovepipe.
is the problem here that im loading too many pallets into the stove? or is it something else?
do i need to baby sit it at all times unless the cat is enguaged?
never had these problems with the king non cat. never seen a pipe glow. had some hot tho. funny thing is its the same pipe.
