I finally hit my earth stove 1002C in the basement with an IE gun and here are my result. i took my temps over a half hour period and during a mid cat burn. Directly over the cat is showing 850ish, with some pretty big swings depending on how i adjusted the airflow. surrounding stove top was sitting around 680-722. 14" up the stove pipe was running at 385, 28" up at the bend was running at 331.
this was on a medium load of 4 splits (2 smaller, 2 normal). i have a stove top thermo that was showing 700 away from the cat. a big load will run 750 according to the thermo. cat housing had a light glow to it, which seems to be normal whenever i get a good cat burn. (no stove glow ever).
does this sound good? she gets really hot over directly over the cat, but the stove top seems to suck up most of the heat. i'm more concerned about my stove pipe temps. what do you think?
