This has been a problem for as long as I've owned this stove. I can only run it on high for maybe 15 minutes and then the hi-temp snap disk will trip. The height of the flame isn't much higher than it would be running on medium I'm guessing the feed rate is probably ok. The snap disk is relatively new so I would highly doubt that is the issue. Anyone else have this issue with the Castile insert?
 
Anything partially plugged in the exhaust path, so the stove will overheat? Convection fan dirty so it isn't running at the speed it should be, or getting old? kap
 
If the flame isn't much more on high then med. I don't see how it can be over feeding, or over heating the stove. Is this #2 or #3 disc that is tripping?
 
And fairly new or new, doesn't mean it is good, in terms of snap disc. kap
