I have read several times on here where people are getting stove top temps around 650 or higher and flue temps about 450. I cannot seem to get this to happen in my setup.
My setup like 600 or higher!!
I have double wall pipe with a probe thermometer about 18" up from the stove. Am I losing too much heat up the chimney? Can I change something to get lower flue temps? This morning we had the stove loaded and the flue temp was at about 800 and I looked outside and had brown smoke coming from the stack. Is that just burning of some of the residue/creosote?
Here are some photos of my stove with the probe thermometer.
I get great heat from the stove but figure I could get longer burns if I can get lower flue temps. I'm lucky if I can get 5 hours between reloads with hot coals.
Any help would be appreciated.
