800 stove top,that would make me pee my pants, I know a good stove can take a blip to 800 but still-wet pants. :cheese:CleanBurnin said:I have done exactly the same thing with my stove. I find that once it is warmed up, you can close the damper almost fully and it may still climb to over 800*F stove top.
I don't think you'll find anything is wrong with the stove, and I doubt you have hurt anything. Do you have a stove top thermometer? Once my stove hits 500*F, I close the air to the minimum that will allow for constant flames. If yours is like mine, it makes different expansion/contraction noises when cooling than heating. Between the noise changes and the flame, you should be able to close the air earlier and avoid the overfire.
