Dauntless- stove too hot

[Jcherv0912]

New dauntless.
When we fill it all the way with wood like it says we should do, the heat climbs so high on both the stove and the pipe. Too hot. Have tried turning air control down and it does nothing to decrease temp. What are we doing wrong?

Others with more VC experience will come along soon.

But first: start dialing down sooner.
How tall is your flue (stove top to chimney cap)?

You say it gets too hot, what temperature is it getting to?

Need more information. What wood is being burned, juniper? Is the bypass being closed? If yes, when? Does the stove have a catalytic converter? Temps on stove, cat?, and stovepipe? Is the stove pipe single-walled or double? How tall is the flue system from stovetop to chimney cap?
