Hello,
Got the PE all back together, and lit a fire last night to take the chill out. I got the fire going nice, and threw a few small splits on, nothing huge - and after a while noticed the side rails and baffle glowing red. Took a stove top reading and it showed 660F. I thought this odd because it was a pretty small load of wood in the stove, with the air turned way down. The fire showed no signs of excess air (lazy flames, active secondaries). I did replace the insulation, etc... could this account for the stove running hotter then I'm usd to?
