8/1 air to WOODGAS which boils off the wood @~500*f & if not properly burned results in creosote up the chimni,& or excessive unburnt CO fuel
basics= water boils @ 212*f, wood gasifies~@500*f, flame appears ~@1200*f, Simplified
That makes a lot more sense... All that given, I would think manufacturers would build stoves to run at least 20% over the "ideal" for safety reasons. Most wood I've witnessed being burned is far wetter than what I'd call ideal. How much over "ideal" do you think the average wood burning apparatus is running?
