Hello, i've been reading different posts on here for about a week but nothing about my problem. I have a blazeking KEF 403 king model insert no cat its a older model we have never ckecked the stove or pipe temp before, but after reading on here i thought i should because i had liquid running out of the pipe. This is our only heat sorce i got a bit concerned. I cut my own wood from our timber, i burn 3 year old wood oak, walnut, mulbury, hack, and elm. And i found that to keep my pipe temp up to 400-500, my stove temp is running between 850 and 950 is that normal on these older stoves. Or do i need to keep the pipe temp that hot. I can't find any info on this old of a stove. Blazeking couldn't tell me much because its a out of producion model for liability, but they did tell me about hearth.com and maybe someone on here could help. I have 8" black pipe comming out of the stove 36" then makes a 90 then goes to a 8" insulated double wall pipe the rest of the way, 3 1/2 foot to another 90 then goes 30 foot up. We have a 2100sf old farm house from the 1860's (no insulation in the walls and old windows) tonight its -5 out side with a 45 mph wind and its 110 degrees in the stove room and 90 on the rest of the main floor and up stairs. I hope someone can give me a little info there seems to be a lot of good advice on here. Thank you.
