We are getting a new Avalon Rainier insert installed today in the masonry fireplace in our rental house (along with appropriate new flue liner etc). Previous tenants overfired/had a chimney fire in the old 70s or 80s era stove that came with the house, rendering the stove warped and unsafe, hence the replacement.
I looked through the owners manual and didn't find a suggested temp range for operating the stove, just a general warning about overfiring - if it glows it's too hot. Our freestanding cast-iron stove says to keep it in the 4-600° range but I'm not sure if steel inserts are different?
What is a safe temperature range for this kind of setup to prevent overfiring?
Thanks!
