Ok, so I have a little Lopi Answer Insert...and usually run it around 500 or so.
So tonight with it already being 4 outside, I decided to fill it up good.
Waited until the stove was at 275 or so, and stuffed it with some 2 year old oak and maple.
Kids were in bed, so I was playing the new Nintendo Wii...addicting that dame thing is.
Anyway, I''m playing this flying game, and then I remember....THE STOVE........run over and the needle is at 700......I grab the IR gun and it reads 791...cut back the air, turn the blower to full....and wait and wait and wait...temps slowly are coming back down.
Just really glad I had the blower, and I am not sure what it would have reached without it.....wierd thing is that happened about 30 minutes after I read BB post...hhhhmmmmmmmmm.
74 in my living room right now, and the stove is pumping out the heat.
I'll take the surround off in the am and check things out.
Anyone run their little Lopi stove up to 800 before?
