My Baffle Just Fell Off

Trying to light it up after repairs.

 

Temporary fix.

 

Do you have a thermometer on that stovepipe? It looks like hat thing has gotten really hot a time or two.

 

Yes, don't let it get over 600.

 

Is that single wall pipe and a magnetic stick on thermometer? If so that's pretty warm in my opinion as the internal is probably pushing 1000-1200 degrees.

I have a probe thermometer and I never let my flue get over 600 on the internal flue temp. On a usual load my flue temp is right around 500-550 during the height of the burn. On the coldest of days if I am pushing it it will run around 600-650.

 

600 degrees wont hurt a thing, if however it was 600 degrees and the stove top was 800 or 900 then you have a problem.
I hit 600 degrees (stove pipe surface) every day some times 2 or 3 times.

 

That blows my mind...... I half think my stove would melt into a puddle f my flue temps were 1000 degrees. Maybe I don't push my stove nearly as hard as I think I do. I generally try to keep my stove top temps higher than my flue gas temps.

Sorry didnt mean to steer you wrong grizzly...... Disregard my previous comments as I don't really use a magnetic thermo so I am not as used to the temp readings on them.

 

Single wall, magnetic, stove top usually hasn't been over 800-850 when it's read 600 on the pipe thermometer.

 

Were you around when I first bought the stove, my flue temps are high and stove top is low, I am not the only one with the same problem but no body seems to have an answer for it other then a damper (tried that) wet wood not turning stove down enough (nope) I am stupid (besides the point) and my mother wears army boots.

 

That's pushing the stove top pretty hard, too hard.

 

Lol I don't think it's you that's the problem...... I would seriously stick a different stove on that hearth and try it out

 

That's not pushing it, that's it taking off! damm thing needs an input damper.

 

So its hard to control and gets away from you time to time?

 

It likes to take off after a decent reload, but we've gotten better at controlling it with the chimney damper.

 

After working with it, I was taken aback by how thin it actually is.

 

Is this the baffled out off...dont you have a blaze king? Is USSC the acronym for US Stove Company?

Does look rusty?

Maybe its from all the "good green wood"?

 

It's US Stove Company 2007b "King."

 

Okay, so, it took me a long azz time to figure out you weren't talking about a Blaze King.

 

I almost bought a USSC 1400 I think? The cheapest one at TSC. I went with the Vogelzang highlander as it was a tad lager in firebox.
