In your opinion what is the more important temp Flue temp or stove temp?
The reason I ask is that I only have one thermometer and wanted to know the best place to put it.
Also, I can get my stove up to about 450 to 550 degrees flue temp...(550 being the max before I get into over fire range) only for about 1/2 hr...then the flue temp starts to go down and will hover just above 300...toward being a clean burn and creating creosote.
What should I be shooting for and where should I be taking the temp from
Just saw that my thermometer is only supposed to be used for single wall stove pipe..Imperial BM0135 Stove Thermometer
