It's been snowing off and on today and I heard a thump and saw a log had hit the stove door. I put on my gloves and went to open the door gently and happened to glance at the stove top temp. It was 750 and climbing. OMG!
Paul had added a big log and it must have had quite a bed of coals. He said he shut down the air control at 450-500. I got the log moved and watched the temp climb to 800 before it started backing off. Nothing glowing and it's back down to a tiny bit over 700.
I did a search here and found my post that my stove dealer told me 900 was overfiring. Still, I like to keep it 600 or under.
