where can one find what my insert top should run for temps?
It is a Qaudrafire 5100i.
350-400 seems to be what I am getting.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
 
Those temps seem pretty low. Is that with the fan running? What kind of wood are you using? How long has it been cut, split, and stacked? Are you loading the stove up fully? Is your air control all the way open, all the way closed, or somewhere in between when you are seeing these temps? Is your glass getting dirty on the stove or is it staying clean? What kind of chimney is it hooked to? How tall is the chimney? etc, etc.

There is lots of info we could use to help you.

You may also consider checking out this thread and doing some reading to see if you find something that fits your circumstance.
