Do My Stove Temps Seem Ok?

Noslo65 · Oct 27, 2008

Finally got my new Lopi Leyden going tonight. Had quite a few small fires in it. But tonight it is windy and down around 32. So I got it going a little hotter tonight. I have about 330 on the single wall pipe using a Condar thermometer ( 12 inches above stove ) . Then about 400 on the stove top. I did engage the secondary. Just wondered what everyone else runs at. Need something to compare to.

I Have a Magnetic (condor) gauge on the front door of my Buck Stove, I try to keep it between 300*-600*. It was running at about 450* when I left the house at 5:30 this morning, I hope the wife and Dogs are warm & happy.....

I keep my VC Defiant between 450 and 600...... probably more often closer to 600.

Our thermometer is on the stack about 12" above the stove.

Try to keep it in between 350 deg F to 600 deg F.

We have an Olympic Avalon insert and the magnetic thermometer usually reads between 400 and 600-occasionally up to 700. 400 is usually the minimum we like to keep it reading.

Our Lopi Answer is running at about 1000° stove top right now. Faint glow. Feels good.

I run my Century stove between 400-500 degrees Fahrenheit. Also make sure your stove pipe thermometer is at 18" above the top of the stove, 12" inches is too low. The suggested height off top of stove is always 18".
