I have a fireplace insert woodstove, with a cat. Recently, I was burning a very hot fire for a few hours, and re-loaded it up with wood. Cat was glowing orange, and secondary burn was going strong. I looked up into the stove at one point, and the middle inside ceiling of the stove was glowing orange. I know that's not good, so I choked the air back and got the temp back down a little.
Obviously, I'll try to never do that again. I checked the stove out after it cooled the next day, and the metal on the interior ceiling looks fine, no damage.
My question is, how dangerous is it to do that?
