I have a napoleon 1400 and the manual says optimum burn occurs when the stove top temp is 500-600degF measured from the stove top beneath the trivet. The longest time I'm able to achieve a steady 600deg Temp is probably about 45min-1hr before it starts to lower in temp. I basically adjust the damper in 4 stages. Full open initially, back down 1/3 at 300deg, 2/3 at 500deg and almost all the way closed at 600deg.
Other than using harder wood that burns longer, is there anything I can do to lengthen the time optimum temp?
