I am burning super dry doug fir beams in the 13NC and it has been getting hotter and hotter so I have shut the air down all the way.
Even with full stop it is running at over 750 on the deck and about 425 on the stack.
I just opened the cleanout door on the chim to act as a baro damp to steal the draft from the stove intake.
This is scary - never happened like this and ironically its is the last night I expect to burn - thats why im burning these chopped up beams instead oif real splits.
...wel....l as im about to post this .. i see the temps dropping very slowly - the cleanout door must be stealing enough draft to starve the stove a bit
now steady at 700
