I don't know what is considered "over fired" for a wood stove, other than what I see on those little magnetic stick on temp gauges . I measure the temp on the very outside edge of the stove...the highest I have seen it is 450F at that location...using a digital infrared thermometer, I read around 650F on various parts of the stove .seems too hot...I attended a chimney fire seminar a few years back, and they recommended keeping the flue temp at the exit of the chimney over 300F.
hello , i just installed a Fisher Mama bear stove , i need to know what surface temperature on top of the stove is to high, over fired temperature , which will tell me when to close the air intakes. I cant use a flue thermometer , my stove has a short pipe into my fireplace. I have a flue thermometer on the top of the stove, and it seems to heat the house best over 600 degrees. what surface stove temperature is overfiring ?
