Picture the heat!

See infrared photos (if attached): Lopi Freedom Bay owner manual states top glowing red or temps exceeding 800 is over firing. (never have, hopefully never will) This fire was 1/3 hedge, 2/3 red/white oak, seasoned nicely. The stove top gauge indicated 610, IR signal 592 degrees. Front glass ran about the same and the flue offset adapter was less at 511. Aiming up towards the stainless steel liner for 551 degrees, not sure why it’s lower than stove top. The highest I’ve had the top gauge is 680, nothing glowed red. I don’t use more than 1/3 hedge. At any rate, thought someone might like the pictures. This stove, the house and the operator are all real happy at 500 degrees so assume I’m just wasting heat up at 600.

Now shoot the important part. The family. Are they warm?

Neat stuff. The liner won't show actual temp because of the reflective surface. Pretty much like the glass.

Ooo, you have a neat toy. I would love to have a FLIR.

I kept expecting to see a Predator in one of the pics.

I think I see Ah-nuld in pic #4.
Those are cool.

That is really neat! Thanks for posting that. I'm putting one of those on my wish list.

Next week, on an all new Ghost Hunters..."OMG! Did you hear that?!" "OMG! Did you see that?!" "OMG! Was that you?!"

Sweet shots. In graduate school (Indiana State) we had 2 FLIR infrared cameras (70K a piece) purchased through a grant. I used them to attempt to locate warm bats in cool roosts (eastern pipistrelles (tri-colored bats) roosting in tree foliage). My wife used them to look for evening bat roosts in hollow trees. Was a real cool tool. Would be a lot of fun to have now with the stove. How much did you pay for the FLIR? Cheers!
