What is your stove top temp when you get secondary burns to start? This is a non cat stove if that matters. Mine starts at 350 or so and I was wondering if that was about right.

mine starts around 500 flue temp. I guess it starts 400 with a yellow flame but 500-550 blue flame

About 300* stove top temp, but, I'm running soapstone, so it takes my stove top a little longer to get hot - the tubes are getting hot a lot faster. Cheers!

Mine will start a little below 350 depending on the amount of small splits and kindling. If I start a firre with a lot of small wood, it can start the secondaries before the stove top heats up to 300. I think my stove top thermometer lags behind the temperature inside the stove. I wonder what the temperature inside the stove is when secondary burn starts.

400 +-
I burn alot of pallet tho, and the secondaries can kick in at any time as the wood becomes engulfed. The top mignt not even be at 300 sometimes
But once I have some solid wood in there and the top goes 550+, I can shut down the air and have nothing but top burn for for an hour or two

I generally can't shut down the air until I'm bumping 600* with the blower on.
I can achieve secondaries earlier than that, but I've got to feed the load more air.

I don't use a thermometer, but I think it's hotter on a reload than a cold start. My secondaries light off faster in a jam packed stove than a half-loaded stove as well.
300-350 for the Heritage. I have only seen the secondaries on the Jotul a few times and it was closer to 450 than
