Hey guys
Well, I contacted my stove company regarding the smell from my stove when I light. I explained that I bring the temperature of the flue up to the recommended temperature based on a thermometer (450 F or so). The guy on the phone is like " you're using a probe thermometer?" I said "yeah!"
Well, come to find out that in order to properly burn in a stove and proper operating temps, you gotta have the flue gases up to 750-900! Then you can turn it down. LOL. The damn book didn't explain that the 450 F was for a magnetic thermometer on a single wall stove pipe!
Soooo..here's the question: what temperature should I be running (flue gases). I know these values are approximate but I simply wanna give myself an idea. Double wall stove pipe with a probe thermometer. BEcause this weekend I am going to fire it up 3-4 times and get the house glowing. If it still smells on light up after those fires, I am gonna use my stove as a boat anchor.
