Just wondering what your cruising speed stove top temps run at ??? Just as a compare and contrast type thing. I have a Mansfield and have cruising temps in the 400 or so range give or take a bit.
Thanks for the info.

I know what cast stoves feel like at those temps...
:ahhh:
That sounds different then what most people report, after fire settles in the stove top is hotter than the flue or is that just when you reload or start up?Highbeam said:Stove top around 400 and flue temps about double the stove temp. On occasion, just to clean things out, I'll run the stove to 550. Stoves make way more heat at 550 than they do at 400.

My summit runs a stove top hotter than the flue and that sounds like normal from the posts from other people. Is it because of the soap stone?Highbeam said:oldspark said:That sounds different then what most people report, after fire settles in the stove top is hotter than the flue or is that just when you reload or start up?Highbeam said:Stove top around 400 and flue temps about double the stove temp.

Not many folks have actual flue probe meters. Not many of those folks are using soapstone non-cats. The stove top is pretty much never hotter than the flue. Trying to think, only time would be if you shoved a full load of cold wood into a hot stove and forgot to open the draft. Then you might have a cold flue, still though, doubt it would be colder than the stove top.
The guys with cat stoves can get some pretty cool flue temps when compared to the stove top. Those darn cats suck the heat out of the exhaust.

Highbeam said:Yes Dennis, that heat the cats steal from the flue gas is cleverly released into the stove. It's a wonderful idea and I would have one if I could do it over. Next stove...
