just curious, anybody monitoring temps?

 Don't know what the firebox runs at, its refractory lined so I imagine it would be the same temp as most woodstoves.  The stack temp is monitored with a flush mount gauge that woodstoves often use.  It usually runs slightly below the recommended minimum temp of 300 def F but creosote is minimal.

i seem to be running very high fire box temps, maxes out my infered thermometer. makes for short cycle times. my stack temp is high at 380.

The chimney temp doesn't sound too high to me - at that temp you likely get no smoke or creosote.  You may be able to drop it down a bit by playing around with the air.  Just curious, what does your infrared gun max out at.

thanks for spelling help, it maxes out at 1200.
