My PE Summit, when started with kindling will go into secondary burn very very quickly, I mean as soon as the fire is fully burning.
I've always figured that the color of the flame is indicative of the temperature of the flame, but in a wood fire this is not true. The color is dependent on the stuff in the wood that is being burned.
But.... I can adjust the color of the secondary burn by adjusting the primary air intake. If I adjust that so that the fire produced long spikes of purplish-blue-even white flame, am I getting less creosote burning? Or doesn't it really make any difference.
I've searched on-line for this, but have not found any answer.
