No damage done as this stove is only 2 months old and creosote has not had time to build up. Here is what happened.
Threw some wood in the same way i have been doing for over a month now....must have gotten to some exceptionally dry wood because my regencyi1100s temp went up to 700 Fahrenheit....assuming my stove top gauge is not 100% accurate and under reads the temps I promptly cut off the air supply....Very relieved that the wood was far enough into the burning process that secondary burn didn't keep it alive I did hit 750 Fahrenheit (In the past at 450+fehrinheight I've been able to shut the air all the way down and run secondary for about an hour while temps rise to a good 550+)
I have no idea what type of wood I put in. But damn!
Posting this so newbies know to be careful.
I too not have a flue temp reading. Only stovetop.
*Edit: it appears I was just worried about re temp and everyone reassured me 700 is fine. I'll check the manual and get an ir gun to be on the safe side.
