Recently ( late 2024) installed an Intrepid 2115.
Easily starts with a nice draw, almost no smoke.
STT easily climbs to 600 to 700. ( Condar magnetic guage)
No combustor as of now ( waiting) and burning straight through.
Rear exit never gets much more than 400 to 500 at best. ( SBI probe through double wall several inches outside of stove collar)
Exterior stack seems clean, no accumlation of creasote at top.
Interior of stove nice and white after a burn

Question: Is smoke temp too low? Seems like a struggle to get to 400. I would like 600 if i could get it

I have experience with early resolute and always kept mid to high temps to control creasote.
