Pretty good trick then..cooling the fire through steel or whatever your stove is.Treacherous said:Actually I can watch it bring the flue temps down with the double wall probe so this would seem to indicate that firebox temps are going down as well.
HotCoals said:It will bring the "thermometers" down..no doubt.Treacherous said:I just turn the fan on high on my Lopi. It seems to be able to bring it down no matter what.
But I doubt it's slowing your fire much.
It can't bring down a raging fire very fast though..been there done that.
It will cool the temp of the stove itself some I guess and because of that, less heat not being reflected back to the fire could slow the fire some in theory..I just have never noticed it.
There are more then a few on here who say they burn more wood with the blowers on.
Maybe they will contribute.
