Flue temp

Just to let you know what a difference the air setting makes on my stove, I reloaded an hour ago and after closing the bypass I left the air at 1/2, forgetting to shut it to 1/4. Stovetop now at 650f, flue at 400f, and AB at 800f... all 100f over my normal cruising mode. Imagine if I had left the stove at 3/4 air... the backside would be a dull red by now!

Internal probe?

External

Just making sure. BTW, do you have a block off plate, or insulation in the damper area?

 

[Devon]

Yup

Insulation

My whole stainless steel flue pipe is insulated and my external probe is under the insulation

Just thinking that maybe even in addition to a blower, a small floor fan blowing into the fireplace might help move a little heat off the flue when it's running really hot.

Na when I tested how hot the chimney clay lined flue was compared to the stainless steel flue it was only 100 degrees in their so the insulation does it.job pretty good

When I actually gota hold of someone at harman who knew anything they said in the 400s is normal I guess.
