When do you reload?

[Itslay90]

At what stovetop temperature or flue temperature do you usually reload your wood stove when you’re down to a bed of hot coals? Do you go by temperature or just wait until the flames die down?

I try to reload when it’s just a layer of hot coals. Stovetop probably around 275 if I had to guess. I try to avoid hot early reloads bc it can make a “runaway fire” more likely.

Yess, I usually reload at 275 or 300
