Back panel shot up to 830° with the griddle at 700°.
I was still in the process of shutting down the air so it was at 40% open.
I had a super strong draft going. I opened up the air all the way and opened the damper. Fire went berserk. Closed the damper again, waited briefly, adjusted air, waited, adjusted, waited, adjusted. Air is now closed. Back panel is at 650 and dropping.
This would have been avoided if I operated the stove like I normally do, but we had heavy rain this week and I had a lot of wood that held onto the rain this time. So, my fires have been a little slower, thus me operating procedure changed a bit. Apparently the wood finally dried based on tonight's results. You take the good with the bad, I suppose. :lol:
Positive was, since I did my home work on this stove, I knew what the issue was and how to correct it. All is right in the world again and it was easy to resolve.
