red hot stove top

[dougstove]

Hi;
Cold December evening here.
I started up a fire with birch kindling (from a previous bed of coals), in a PE Super 27, set on 'Start'.
Once it was going nicely, after about 15 min I stoked in 4 pieces of split maple.
Then, I got distracted.
After about 20 min of adding the maple, I glanced back, the stove was roaring, secondary burn in full flight, and the stove top, around the chimney pipe, was glowing dull red.
So, I turned back the draft (10-15 min later than I should have), and within 5 min, the stove top was no longer visibly glowing.

So: Is this error likely to do permanent damage to the stove, or can they generally tolerate a few rounds of over-firing?

check your ss baffle for damage

stove, probably not they are built like friggen tanks, baffles like said above may be a different story, hopefully you caught it in time and didnt damage the refractory or SS baffle in the top of the stove

Plate steel stove - just stand back and enjoy the heat. If it were cast iron or soapstone, I'd say grab the phone, press "9" then "1" and keep your finger above the "1" just in case

Unless you hear one of those "bonk"s that rattle the dishes in the cabinets. :lol:

Poinggg! I hear that. Watch the stove for the next few weeks. Check the baffle for warpage. And from now on, carry a timer with you.

FWIW, in the past I had similar spaceouts with the Jotul 602. It would take off so quickly with good wood that you needed to really stay on top of it. That stove has seem more than one 800+ stovetop. Enameled and if you saw it today you would never know. No creaks, groans or weld pings to date.

If I hear a weld ping from a Jotul I am gonna get really, really concerned. :coolsmirk:

I have heard the odd ping or clunk from my Hearthstone, which I attributed to the plates slowly expanding or contracting, catching then popping off of whatever they catch on. Kind of like a new car that has a chorus of clinking from the exhaust heat shrouds when the motor is turned off.
