So it been in the 40's around here. I have been playing with my wood stove and trying to experiment with it. Ended up taking the grate out and sticking a metal bolt plate in front of one of the air intakes, to help control the burn a lil more. Installed a barometric damper. I'm still not sure what stack temps are supposed to be. Depending on how I burn it, and what kind of wood I load. Once it's hot and I damp it back all I'm running between 250 and 350 degrees about 12 inches up the stack. Is this normal, low, high?

Right now I have 2 bigger pieces of maple slow burning. Manual draft open, still playing with the barometric draft. Stack temp sitting at 250.

Does this all sound good or what?View attachment 314564
