Got our new stove up and running for a couple of weeks now and I'm loving it! It is definitely a trial and error process of learning how to best operate it, but I enjoy it. I have definitely learned a lot here on the forums! Just a run down on my operation, I get the stove going to about 400-500 after about 15 + minutes and then engage the cat, then the temp goes up to between 1000-1200. It is a Dutchwest large 2183, does this sound about right? Is that too Hot to run? How much can I turn down the dampers (Primary and Combuster) once the cat is engaged?? It really heats things up once the cat is rolling and the beauty is to see no smoke rolling out the chimney!

I am unfamiliar with the stove so I can't talk about the operating temps, but I wanted to say Welcome to the forum and Nice looking install there.
Yes, it does now, picture was taken when we first fired it up. Also the picture above stove is gone TV cab - gone as well as other stuff that was surrounding the stove! I take no chances! Thanks.
