Yes they do.
Anything else on your mind?
thanx=im getting exited!You Mr. Chuck, need to express yourself more. Come out of your shell.
+1. Not recommended Tom Trees.theoretically, extracting flue heat means you would be cooling the gases in the flue, thereby creating a cooler surface for creosote to adhere to.
in other words, you'd be making your flue load up with croesote.
i love theoretix! but if theres no creosote to stick?theoretically, extracting flue heat means you would be cooling the gases in the flue, thereby creating a cooler surface for creosote to adhere to.

You will create it. Got it?i love theoretix! but if theres no creosote to stick?
who else might believe theres a miami in Ok? & heres a diff angleive got one use it all the time sweep stove pipe oncw a year and burn a creosote log every month no problems just have to no possibility is there and take precautions

SNap Switch eh!? is that an actual product for measuring exhaust temp!?!?! Cuz if so..i want one! lol... i was thinking about a Draft induction setup that i would LOVE to have a switch like that..Not necessarily. It depends on the temperature of your flue gasses to start with. If you've got a hot fire, and the gasses leaving the flue are at 300 or 400 F, you're wasting a lot of energy. You can recover some of that heat, and still have the flue gasses hot enough to prevent condensation and creosote buildup.
I have five feet of single wall steel stovepipe between my stove and the ceiling box ( above that it's SS double-wall chimney). And, I have an array of small 12V fans that blows air on that stovepipe, but only when the surface temperature of the pipe is above 230F. ( I've got a 230F snapswitch on the stovepipe near the top that turns on the fans). My stove is an EPA approved Quadrafire.
This pulls out a lot of heat that would otherwise be lost. After a full heating season last year with this setup ( about 90% woodstove and 10% furnace heat for the season) I had about a quart of granular deposits when I cleaned the flue in the spring. Not bad at all.
If the fans ran all the time ( with no regard to stovepipe temperature) , it might be a problem.

Some high temperature wire might be in order due to the heat from the stove pipe.
thankfully, here there seems to be room for scientific discussion ,pro or con, beyond hitting the ignore button. Why have u posted this if it sayz nothing about flue heat extraction?Add the OP to your ignore list now. You will thank me later. He has worn out his welcome over on Hearth.

soooo...for example..your mean adjustable like this one...??....

the MH knocks the flugas temp to ~300*f pipe surface temp which is about 450*f actual gas temp ithink. If the gas coming out the top of the chimni is below 212*F water condensation happens inside the chimniJust like that one - except that particular one has a max temperature setting of 130F - not nearly high enough. You want one in the 220 -250 F range ( or even higher)
