So the deal is, the outside of the stove has different (lower temps) then obviously the inside of the stove. The condor cat probe that reads 1500 - 2200 deg is what the inside of the fire box reads. Remember these stoves are designed with fire bricks, baffles, cat chambers to burn hot and efficient. Since many woodstoves do not have the internal probe many user's are directed my stove manufacturers to install a stove top thermometer and or a chimney pipe thermometer. For the stove top thermometer a cruising stove will run between 500-650deg, an over fire situation could develop if the stove top temps start running into the 700's, damage could occur when stove top temps are in the 800's, remember the fire is hotter in the inside of the stove. For the chimney pipe - temps run differently, depending whether you have a cat stove or a epa air tube re-burn stove, generally stoves that run with a catalytic converter will have lower chimney pipe temps then stove that have air re-burn tubes, that's because the cat stove can burn more efficiently under lower temps (cat lights off) and the epa stove needs higher temps to reburn the unburnt smoke (ie: take more heat to achieve a clean burn, more heat = more heat up the flue) With cat stoves you don't want the cat prob to run higher then 2,000deg f, premature cat failure can occur when they are exposed to very high stove top temps or direct flame impingement. Dutch - keep doing what your doing, remember to burn dry wood, under 20% moisture content, it can take green oak up to 2 years split and stacked to get below 20% moisture content.

I've been using a 1980 Alaska Kodiak stove since 1980 all day, all winter. From experience I will say that if the pipe aint glowing red it'll be fine.

My stove is a simple cast iron box. No bricks, no cannibal converters, no nuthin'. I frequently get the bottom of the chimney pipe glowing red. Of course, I cut the air intake then, and let'er cruise. I thoroughly clean every inch of my chimney every year, and burn a creosote log thingy every 10 weeks. Been doing this for more than ten years. That thermometer, for me, would be like looking up symptoms on the internet. I'd be panicking, thinking I got the fungilitis for sure. Running a stove is like playing an instrument. Some folks play by ear; some folks can't play a note without that dang paper stuffed up in their grill. Just sayin'

Shoot my grandma used to have a roaring fire in a cast iron old wood stove in a single wide mobile home and whoa that dang stove was blazing hot lol. I'm sure the pipe and roof was blazing too but we was super warm😂 never burned down.

I have the exact same temp gun, i love it. Used it to check my temps before i got the thermometer gauge on the stove pipe

I run mine like that everyday in the winter. Have been for years. I clean my chimney every year and do proper maintenance to the system.

I have a magnetic thermometer on my single wall pipe 18" above the stove top. The thermometer usually reads between 400°f - 500°f. Ive been burning wood for 35+ years. Nothing wrong with having your stove at these temps. Keep your chimney and pipes clean ( I sweep mine after every cord of wood I run through it) and keep fire burning hot and efficient and you will have no issues.

Also keep an eye on the temps of the back wall, floor surfaces & any other items around the stove. I doubt you are getting hot enough for spontaneous combustion but it's better to be safe.

Old fashioned wood stoves with uninsulated stove pipes would get hotter pipe temperatures than newer designs.

Great video... Thanks for sharing ! That stove can obviously handle what you are asking of it...

Now you've got me confused. With my stove all the way dampered down, my stovepipe still hits 700F and stove front is 600F

Great content! Some of the negative comments are from negative people. I see them all over KZfaq. Maybe Ai? Don’t listen to them… ain’t nobody got time for that! Lol! 😎

what type of heating boarding do you have behind the wood stove and how high up does it go?

Good info... thanks!

Semper Fi brother! Nice stove by the way too. Nice and large!

Hello from Ireland, could you have come out of the top of the stove at 45°? Or do you need to come up one section before angling out through a masonry wall?

I like that jacket! And I bet old Josh from Stoney Ridge sent you that heat gun didn’t he?!

Trying To Contact the Dutch Insurance Company, To Make A Claim!

Looks ok to me, I’m in the uk with a clearveiw pioneer 400, got a valiant stove pipe thermometer placed 4 inches from top of stove, optimum burning is indicated between 300 and 500 degrees Fahrenheit, I burn it bang in the middle at 400 degrees Fahrenheit, won’t get any benefit out of it otherwise.

Good vid - and coincidentally I have the EXACT cast iron tea kettle on my stovetop. Use it to put moisture in the air, going on over 20 years now.

Your right everyone is actually responsible for what they do them selfs you got that part totally right no one gose to hell over someone else's doings yeah that part so watch your selfs and let the young man alone

Fascinating vid!! The difference between stove temp and stove pipe temp - what kind of baffle? OH you have a catalytic combustor.

Will these temps be similar to a rear pipe wood stove? I've been having trouble keeping my stove up to temp.

So at that temp close to the stove pipe coming out the stove is it ok to use high temp silicon 500 degree on the joints or do I need to?

I don't know who commented but secondary air burn always looks roaring but it's not too hot. That's just the smoke burning which it's supposed to do. You'll be fine.

Hey buddy come see me I'll get you a metal bucket!!

peace of mind is good and by checking the temperatures you know cant agree with proof

So on the joints of my stove pipe even right at the stove is it ok to put 500 degree high temp silicon?

With the damper closed or partially closed the smoke still goes out? But pipe stays more cool...hmm. Good tips. I like this channel.

Damn what were you drinking moonshine? When you pissed on that fire it flared up!?!

Semper Fidelis my brother.

How do you not literally run everyone out of your house. I have this in tulsa and were pretty much running around in our underwear with a small to medium fire!!!

Answered a lot of questions, thank you 🙏 ‘freeze

just bought one, thx

dutch dont let the douche bags get to yeah bud their are a lot of them. just delete them and move forward hope you guys are staying warm it is freakishly cold today. have a good one.

Hey dutch cool video like that lil heat temp gun I'll use it on my smoker lol.......its time for a new offset smoker mine just let's out smoke everywhere any recommendations

With my wood stove I can have the damper only a quarter Way open and I'm noticing the triple insulated pipe that goes through my wall gets too hot to the touch I've been trying to look it up everywhere with no luck can anyone help me figure out why and if I need a new double or triple insulated pipe

I’m still trying to get my fire to keep lit! I’m having a hard time doing that.

how do you deal with the anxiety of burning that hot? i cant seem to shake the feeling of imminent doom when even 2 logs in in the stove

Thanks for the video. While you're correct that the stove is not too hot, you may want to do your homework on the direction of your pipes.

Dutch, is it single wall flue?

Is this double wall pipe?

I got mine red glowing

I couldn’t get past the lighter fluid and plastic bucket.... Safety last.

How hot is it up in the attic.

SO; my data collection is NOT complete (read; to my liking) but my *Inferno* Stovetop Thermometer (freebie from retailer of stove) reads 500-650° F seated on the top WHEN I "like" the visual "smoke output" (read; NONE). The heat has to go through a CAT, soapstone and cast iron. At 550° when I set the thermometer on the double-walled (good for 1200° fancy-smancy "modern" stove pipe) 14" up, the temperature reads 300° ... So unless I install an internal(s), I can NEVER know my true firebox or CAT combustor temp. What I DO know is the CAT is VERY sensitive to "seasoning" and CAT stoves should NOT EVEN be allowed to be sold in the Pacific North West Cascades as moisture volume is generally too high in recently purchased, "seasoned" wood AND unless one has literally, "for sure", with your own efforts, seasoned it yourself for three years after purchase, CATS MAY not even have a "best chance" of proper operation. Does the little Craftsbury easily heat 1400 square feet; yes. Do I trust that the "new and improved" CAT tech of 2022 is NOT building creosote and will need to replaced inside of three years at exorbitant cost; NO ... Time will tell ...

I'm starting to wonder what people are putting in they're stove. That is causing it to burn the house. Maybe sabatoge.

nice video like your stove what kind is it will subscribe bob here in pa

My flu on my wood stove was red one day and scared me. Stuff was falling down from it and I had black flakes on the snow outside my house. What do I do to maintain my stove and flu and check for damage. I let the fire burn and lowered the temp to around 300 f. Before it was at around 550-600. I was terrified. Thank you

Sorry Dutch - Your CAT is running 1800 degrees, not the stove. Your original video said you got the stove temperature up to 1800 (actually closer to 2000 degrees) - you made no mention of a CAT. I'll still maintain that temperatures anywhere near that kind of temperature IN THE FIREBOX itself is way too hot. Catalytics are designed to burn the gases, just like in your car, reducing emissions and just like your car, cat temp is NO indication of engine (stove) temp. Not all stoves are cat equipped.

What stove is that?

i was told to have the stove 1000 degrees so you dont get to much cresote and soot in the chminey

I have an 2400 sq ft England they say to run it from 500 - 700.... HAHAHAHA If anything your running your stove to cold...

Dude I bet the guy thought you were talking about Celsius and you were in reality talking in terms of Fahrenheit.

How many square feet is your house

My wife grew up with a wood burning stove seem dangerous with kids and pets around.

Flue temps?

A plastic bucket for ashes, really?

looks like you have double wall stove pipe. Single wall pipe is not equal. very deadly to not point this out.

I remember accidentally touching one like this

Inside temp on mine 609

Holy cow!!! You are emptying the ashes into a PLASTIC bucket!!! I don’t care if the ashes are cool…. Some people who are new to wood stoves might try this! That would be a danger accident!!!! Folks…. Empty your ashes into a METAL ADH bucket! They sell them at Tractor Supply Co. Be safe!!!

if you want a real hot fire bun pcs of tires

must burn stove 1000 dg

I don’t believe you converted to vegan 🌱

Load It Up & Let It Rip Never Had A Problem

There are a bunch of cry babies on here lol

Is it an insulated flue pipe?
