Over fire? Bought a nc 30 due to the many high reviews. Everything I have seen and read is the nc30 runs hot and likes dry wood. I have dry wood and I have been running a auber thermometer for the flue and run it between 300-450 degrees. I have not been able to achieve the heat that I’ve wanted because I feel I’ve been loading e/w with only 3 pieces maybe at most. I decided to try n/s and was able to fit 5 pieces. It started off hotter and faster than I expected and I was af first happy. I achieved what I wanted as far as stt and I shut the air completely off at 400 degrees stt but the secondaries kept my flue temp climbing from 500 (which is when I
am starting to get nervous) to almost 700 and the fire was still roaring from secondaries. So I chimexed my stove and chimney and threw old ash I had to kill the fire. Everything I had is new, the stove the liner and I am worried about over firing everything. My liner is single wall insulated with aluminum casing inside an exterior masonry chimney that’s in bad shape. During the whole ordeal I noticed smoke or steam coming from inside the chimney and I have 2-3 ft of roxwool stuffed inside the damper and the top is insulated as well. So I guess my question is is my liner safe to use again or should I replace it? I plan on getting it inspected at this point
