I burned for the first time yesterday on a new install. I realize I need to learn the operation of the stove and perhaps a stovepipe probe is best but my brother-in-law has me worried.
I ran my stove easy for the first time. After it was nice and warm, the outer wall of the stovepipe was hot. You could keep you hand on it for 1-2 seconds but that's it. I have about 4' of pipe (which includes a 45 degree and a 90 degree) before entering into an insulated wall thimble. I could rest my hand on the thimble for quite a bit longer).
My brother-in-law is telling me I should be able to leave my hand on doule wall. Not sure on how to respond.
