I just bought a stove top thermometer (imperial) and was I surprised. Went to the cabin this weekend and loaded the stove cold, inside temp was 3.6c. I did what I always did to get the cabin heated fast, load the stove and let her go. In 35-40 minutes it was at 700f, (according to the thermometer) then hit just under 800f and cruised there until I turned the air down. Even still it ran at 700f. The only way I could get this stove into the 300-400 optimal range was to let the fire die down to almost a coal bed only.
I had no overheat issues that I could see. Could i have a crappy t/stat? I have about 25 feet of straight through chimney maybe its a draft thing. Anyways If the temps are correct am I flirting with danger even though the stove seems to love cruising at high temps.
Cheers
