Does anybody have any idea how hot/cool the chimney flue should be? Mine is about 375 at the stovetop, 214 at 12" from the stovetop, 185 at eye level, and 100 near the ceiling. Its only the reading from the outside of the flue.
I haven't found out what the lowest temperature should be to keep the soot from building up. I have a clean burn, but I am thinking of capturing more of the heat coming off of the chimney flue.
