newbie here again,
I have a Pleasant Hearth WSL 1800 stove. The highest I have gotten my stove temp is about 350 degrees F.
The highest I have gotten my flue pipe is 200 degrees F. My stove is brand new. I start the burn and after the wood catches good I shut the door and adjust the air. I also close the Baffle to try to initiate the secondary burn.
Is there a particular temp that I should wait for before closing the Baffle ?
I want to get my stove up to about 450 degrees and my flue to around 300 degrees. The thermometers I am using for stove top and on the single wall flue pipe is RUTLAND and the flue pipe thermometer is located 18" above the stove top. Also the wood im using was bought at Tractor Supply in a bundle. I am having a dump truck deliver a mix of Cherry and Oak this week. All cut and split last year sometime. Will having seasoned hard wood like Cherry and Oak make that much difference ?
Any info will be greatly appreciated !
Thank you all,
Don
