So I have had the Buck online for exactly one month. Since it is an insert, I can only get a hot temperature read off the ceramic glass with my infrared thermometer. The hottest I get is tonight at 730 degrees. Is this too hot? Is this not a true reading? The hottest reading I have gotten off the metal on the side is 480. What are your opinions on this? Can I burn hotter?
75% of the time, we have the primary air closed down around 80%. That is the only way we get secondary burns. I worry about creosote build-up. Should I be opening her up more? I blow through some wood if the air control lets too much in.
Also, can I close my primary air down all the way when I go to bed and will it continue to burn?
Thank you!
