I was reading some thoroughly fascinating threads here recently about temperatures inside the inner layers of stove pipe and chimney pipe where people had taken their temperatures at different distances from the flue of the stove.
In one thread, if I remember right, the interior temp within a foot from the flue was around 650 F, then the temp of the stove pipe about four feet from there was a little lower at around 550 F and presumably as the distance increases the interior temperature decreases at least a little?
So my question is if the interior temperatures of the flue/lowest section of our stovepipe is averaging around 650 F what would I expect the temperature to be towards the topmost section of our chimney cap (20 feet of chimney in this instance)???
I realize it is impossible to precisely pin these temperatures down in this way however I'm more searching to understand theory here and not necessarily trying to perfectly predict temperatures. Thanks.
Ohh, I didn't specify this but this is 6" ID Double Wall Class A Chimney (Excel) and 6" ID Double Wall Stovepipe (UltraBlack). Thanks Again.
