With certain technical difficulties out of the way and some cold(er) weather, have tried to get the temp of the PH up, but can't seem to get top temp past 375 or so. My FV would go to 550 to 650 soon after the cat was engaged, burning the same wood and hooked to the same chimney arrangement.
I engage the cat at about 300, cut the intake air to right beside nothin' and close the damper 1/2 (on windy days!). The top temp goes to approx. 375, flue temp stays within 50 of where it was. Must be doing SOMETHING wrong, but what?
Thanks--
