Not sure why people want to get their stovetop above 650 degrees?? I try to keep it below 650 not above it.. The T-5 gets to 650 pretty easy and I try to limit it to this temp..

Ray, I agree with you a bit here.
We have all range of newbie/experienced woodburners reading our posts, all ranges of cubic foot firebox sizes, etc. with our specific manufacturer brand woodburners.
When a newbie thinks 'their' stove should be reaching these higher temps then they strive for them on 'their' stoves - even though 'their' stove may not be rated for these higher temps.
As an example, my Oslo is rated to run between 400-600 °F .
I think I accidentally got my stove up to 640 once, and only once.
I don't strive for the higher temps, I prefer to coast within the manufacturer specs for "my" stove.
So I guess I'm saying higher temps may not necessarily be proper given the woodburning appliance the reader is using in their home.
Just my 2 cents.
Burn on!
