Temps..are we talking with blower on or off

[Jfk4th]

Merry Christmas all,
Just wondering from the thousands of posts I have read what most people mean when they are talking temps with their stoves. With my Avalon there is about a 150-200F difference with blower on in temps than with blower off. So for me, 400-450F is cruising nicely with blower on for a long overnight burn. Right now since the temps are about 40 here, I am cruising with 3 small splits and getting around 500-550F with blower off. I am sure with most inserts that blower is going to be on but for freestanding there might be many with blower off (or did not even buy a blower)

So what say you most of the time with temperature reading? T emps with blower on or off.

Any temps I post are always with the blower off.

As I never turn mine off, mine are always with the blower on.
If it ever does cool enough that the blower kicks off I am there in two seconds to reload. I can even hear it in my sleep

My blower is always on auto. Highest temp any part of the front gets to (it's an insert) is about 475F but that is pushing it. Except the glass which easily can get to 800F.
