We're learning a lot about our insert and wonder what temp we should try to keep it.
I read somewhere to keep it at least 300 degrees F. The Vermont Castings manual doesn't give specifics about this. It only says you can over-fire the unit and if the cast iron glows you've gone too far.
LOL We haven't done that. We have a IR thermometer to check the temp. The cat. thermometer is broken and will be replaced by a Condar digital soon.
Since similar-type inserts probably have different characteristics and behaviors a "ballpark" temperature would be appreciated. We want to run our unit as cleanly and as efficiently as possible.
Thanks in advance for your help.
