Last night, I was getting ready for my first good coal burn overnight. I loaded her up with maple (I've been burning soft hardwoods mostly) and opened up for more air to get things cooking. I noticed that before too long, my secondary burn tubes were glowing red. I choked it back and they slowly returned to normal (while I witnessed a killer secondary burn).
The therm on the door read 365 or so. I've had it up over 400 before (door temp) without glowing tubes.
Did I do something bad? Did I do something good in choking it back?
