How seriously is cast iron damaged by overfiring a woodstove until the iron glows red?
Is the nature of that damage "warped" cast iron? Anything else?
Is this damage cumulative over time? That is, does each instance of overfiring add up to equal "damage" some day?
How urgent is the need to cool off the fire and eliminate glowing red cast iron?
Does more time at glowing red temps = more damage?
How significant is the difference between dull red and bright, cherry red?
My stove got away from me last night.....Thanks for any advice.
