In my experience, stove top temp on a BK tells only a small part of the story. It can be 500 or more directly over the cat, with a fairly fresh load at a low setting. The firebox is dark and only the cat is glowing. My IR would show the rest of the stove at 250 or less.....
In this instance, this is a technology I would like to experiment with in order to expell as much of that 500° into the space as one possibly can.
