So I finally purchased a new stove. A Pacific Energy T5 Alderlea. It's my primary heat. Going from a smoke dragon to a modern stove has been a learning experience. It's amazing how you can go from 200 degrees to thermonuclear in a short time. My question is after a fire is set up and settled down, how high can I run the stove? The manual states if the outlet pipe is glowing it's too hot.(ya think?) They don't state numbers. I can cruise at 500 degrees stack temp with the air turned off. But if I'm trying to heat a 50 degree house after not being home for the weekend, what's too hot?
