Hello, I (might) be having some trouble. My Englander 13NP seems to be showing that it is running very hot. I'm not sure if it really is or just looks that way. I have my Rutland thermometer on the top/center about 4" from the flue collar. It is not unusual for it to show 700 to 750 deg. This is even after just starting it up in the morning after only about 10 to 15 min. The air control is about closed getting good secondaries. If I check with an IR gun it reads about the same. If I check in the rear corners it will show around 450 deg. Just checked and it has been about an hour and showing 500 in the front and in the corner 330 deg. Is it getting close to over firing? At this time of the year most splits are are the end pieces around 12 to 14 in long. But this seems to be the normal temps even when burning larger pieces. Should I move the thermometer to the rear? I can see where it is now would be the hottest spot as all the heat would be going pass it to get to the flue. The paint does not show where it was over-fired, but I do paint it every year just to keep it looking like new. Also when it is showing the high temps the flue is running around 400 deg. Any thoughts would be a big help.
Thanks!!
