i just got an IR thermometer after concerns that i was getting my combustables near the stove too hot.
while fooling around i checked stove and pipe temps.
right now my 30-nc is 590 on the top and my doublewall superpipe is 240 @ 2' above collar and 230 @ 4' above. it is burning at almost no primary draft and getting a good secondary burn.
im only just getting the feel of burning our new 30-nc... but my superpipe seems wayyyy hot. with my old stove i could typically put my hand on the pipe for a second or two... but not today (the drywall 18" behind the pipe isn't too cool either).
how hot is too hot for stovepipe?
