Well I really don't want to drill into my double wall pipe and I was just curious if anybody has put a Rutland thermo on the pipe anyway. I know it will be off but does anybody know by how much. I had my Rutland up to around 300 on the double wall and I was thinking that the flue temp would be around 500-600F. I have 2 other Rutland's on the stovetop for burning temperature which works fine but I was always curious about the flue temp (yes I have a problem buying thermometers...too cheap at the end of the year to pass up 
)
Here is another thing I did a couple of days ago. Last year I put 2 45's (for clearance) starting from the stove collar then adjustable double to the ceiling (as you can kind of see from my avatar) when I got my Avalon Olympic (thanks Avalon for making me buy brand new double wall...brats..I had just bought new Selkir double wall for my Summit) Anyway I was getting a little smoke when reloading many times which made my wife very upset :shut: I have 19 feet of total pipe so it rips for draft when the door is closed but when I open the door it gets frustrating. I have tried the "open the top bypass damper and open the air all the way, wait a little bit then slowly open the door (shutting off the blower too)". This helped but not enough some times...
So just recently I put the 2 45's near the ceiling and put my adjustable double wall pipe right on the stove collar. It seemed to make a difference, wish I would have thought of this earlier. Does anybody know why? I was thinking the draft is a little better now because the pipe goes straight up for about 3 or 4 feet before the 45's come in to play (as before the 45's slowed the draft a little bit?) Just a guess.....
