Just curious as to how hot is to hot for my lopi liberty. Manual say 800 degrees is considered overfired but it has never gotten that hot. So far this year (2nd year with the stove) it as been almost impossible to get cruising temps under 700 degrees. The last couple of fires it was cruising at 750 without the fan running and the air control all the way shut. 700 degrees doesn't really bother me but I start to take a little more notice at that temperature. I would like to have it curse in the range of 550 of 650. Yes the gasket is sealing tight. I am thinking of installing a pipe damper to help slow things down because at 750 this thing is putting out a ridicules amount of heat. Understand the stove is not peaking at 750 and slowly coming down but it is running at 750 for hours on end. Anything over 750 and I turn the fan on to cool it down. Just wondering what other knowledgeable people on this site think. I know this stove is built like a tank and can probably handle those temperature but it wasn't a cheap stove, so I don't want to pop any welds to warp the top plate
