So after reading creosote gets burnt off at 500*F, I figured if I run my stove hot all the time i'll avoid its build up at all in the first place! So my ideology seems to be "get the stove to 480-500 *F " then reduce air so it cruises along at this temp. Missus must think I've lost the plot, as I fettle the stove until it reaches this temp, and only then i'll sit back and enjoy the fruits of my labour ![Smile :) :)](/talk/styles/default/xenforo/smileys/grin.gif)
She thinks this is far too hot and always runs it between 300*F - 350*F (using less wood as a bonus)
So what are your personal flue temperature ideologies, and would you class 300-350*F as too cold as although its in the flue thermos "optimum" range, its not in creosote burning range?

![Flue temperature ideology - 300*F - 350 *F how many people think this is too cold?
