So I've been thinking....
I've seen folks talk about stack temps down around 300f. I've never seen that with my Tarm, I usually run a hair over 400f after a cleaning and it will climb up to over 500f and that's the point where I clean the tubes again.
I have turbulators and I make sure they get cleaned well each time I brush the tubes. I've never seen any real build up of creosote in the tubes, they brush out pretty easily.
I'm curious how some people get such low temps. Are they getting superior heat transfer or are they just measuring the temps differently then I do (I have an in flu gauge about 8" from the outlet).
