I don't want to hijack Bluedogz thread so I started a new one. I too have the same problem with coals building up (Going to get a rake like mentioned in his thread!), but I also have what some might consider high stove temps. Stove info is in my sig, I have a 20" rise out of my stove, a 90 and then a 30" run to dump it into my solid brick chimney that is lined with 9x9 clay fire tile. It was built in 1950(can you say brick s House) and is in perfect condition and approx 24' tall. I get great draft.
Now my stove temps, it sits in the basement and heats my whole 1200sqf house by gravity so I need it to throw,it's of heat. My stack and stove temp images are below. Best I have.
Because of the coal problem I was reading all the stickies and found out I have temps much higher than others, but as you can see in the pick it does not even look a little red, but man is it throwing the heat. -0.4f outside right now and the upstairs is 73. . Should I be concerned about the temps? Anyone have this same stove and not have a coal problem?
Oh yea, hickory cut three years ago into 8' and then 18" CSS for 1 year.
