Englander 30 Overfire?

and mine works great with a 40+ ft chimney with a 10x10 square flue :=) (once it's warmed up that is)

You sayin' just start the first fire and get'r to 650?

had my stove pupe glowing red, noticed it when i shut the light off, inside the double wall stove pipe slots i could see red where it was a right after a 45 deg turn.. wonder if the stainless double wall is thinner, cause i aint never seen the single wall pipe glow, not even in the dark, a and the stove pipe temp gauge only read 550f but it was a foot or 2 higher then the glowing part.


heres some stuff i found online on glowing colors for stianless

I did not baby my 30 when I broke it in...

Ditto - I went from full fire in old stove to full fire in Englander in about 8 hours. It's only stopped a handful of times since then - and only because it's too darn hot outside!

Exactly ! Draft directly affects stove temps. Warm day, cool chimney(weak draft) i struggle to get to 500 .Cold day, hot chimney(strong draft) it goes right to 700 and above.
