Tell me why you think you should burn a hot fire once a day.oldspark said:
I can't make it any simpler.
I've been on this forum long enough to hear plenty of cat stoves getting out of control but most were VC stoves. Even those beautiful Woodstocks can get away from you once in awhile but yeah, I agree, compared to my many non cats I've burned I have a little more control with my cats.
As far as stove top temps go, I would be a lot less worried hitting 800 with a steel stove than with a cast or soapstone.

Are you kidding me?
I can run this thing way up in temps..shut the air down and she drops like a rock..fire out..lets see a tube do that.
The hottest I have seen my stove is a little over 740 and that was just above the cat..and no flame.
Elsewhere on any part of the stove the temps where no where near that..only just above the cat.
Single wall pipe was at 350f 18" up at that point...IR.
BTW..I would be interested in a link or two of a runaway cat.
I can stop my Summit dead in it tracks also, back to ya. Well not dead in its tracks but I can idle it down in a hurry, I dont understand all the problems either, the only time my stove has got hotter than I wanted I let it go too long before I shut it down.
