As I explained, I presumed someone was inferring what temperatures likely resulted in actual damage to stoves. That's not "making things up." Neither is it really science.
But please tell me where you got those temperatures. I would like to be able to see how such figures were arrived at and how I can apply them to my stove.
<<You havnt looked very hard pretty much all new stoves are tested that way at one point or another.
No doubt you are correct. But I've already seen that manufacturers don't report hard numbers in their operating guides, and I haven't seen where these lab testing results are available for inspection and review. If you can refer me to such information, I'd like to look at it.
I would expect that laboratory testing reveals optimum conditions for operating the stove ----also not reported to the public.
You are quite right. My attempts to find this information this afternoon has been futile. If you can refer me to it I would appreciate it. .
