Fired up this evening and stack temps were around 650. Then I reloaded a little heavier than I have in the past which has not been heavy as I'm just new to burning wood. My stack temps went to about 820 and the stove top was 650 to a little ways under 700. These temps don't really concern me as they are with in operating range. Its just that I was hoping to load it up nice, get the wood ignited and idle my primary air back for a nice comfortable burn. Would a flu pipe damper help with this at all or not. Or is there a better way to control the fire? I have a double wall flu pipe with a Condar probe thermometer.
