I was just wondering what temps people are getting on there double wall pipe upon start up?
I have been trying to keep my temps below 600, but sometimes when I close the bypass when the pipe gets above 500 it can get up to 700 before it starts to fall.
I am assuming this is due to the AB and the fact that the pipe temps are still going up when I close the bypass.
Problem is on start-up and on loads the fire seems to be pulled up the flue when bypass is open which gets it hot before the stove itself gets up to temp.
This causes the stove to stall since the full combustion is not reached.
I have tried leaving the top load door open until load is somewhat burning and this does seem to keep the temps down on the pipe.
But, after I close the door the pipe temps rise above 500 and the stove top itself is just getting to 300.
My concerns comes from what happened last year when I had to replace some double wall and some class A due to overheating the pipe.
Last year I let the stove top get to 500 before closing the bypass, this had the pipe kept getting above 700 and sometimes even spiking.
Could my issue be that I have to much draft which is causing the flames to be pulled up the flue?
If so is there anything I can do about this?
Thanks...
