Alderlea T6 first fire

[Itslay90]

About 6" after the damper. Make sure the probe doesn't interfere with the damper operation.

I have a magnetic thermostat 6 inches I can still do the something right ?

I thought the stove had double-walled stove pipe connecting it. Is it single-walled?

Yes it’s single-walled pipe

So last night the pipe damper was about 90% closed. I think the air was also about 90% closed. It was a cool 20 degree night with well seasoned wood and with a full firebox you need to be careful not to overfire.
Anyways pics are the pipe damper setting, coals and temps after 10 hours.
The pipe temp maxed out at 900 and the stove top was probably 700 but I can’t remember but like I said you have to watch out for overfire.

Thank you
