After I char a new load and everthing settles in, probe flue gas is always 200 lower than whatever stovetop is.
Try putting your external thermo next to your probe and see what you get.
500 probe flue gas
225 exterior stovepipe
675 stovetop
I have double wall excel stovepipe
A big load that is allowed to get real hot then dampered all the way down seems to have a lower flue gas temp in relation to stovetop.
A smaller load that you don't let rip but cruise at say 1/3 air seems to have flue gas that is closer to if not equal to stovetop.
