What are your flue temps before the baro? On my stoker, with a full grate burning, I am at 150* before the baro. I have
two sections of pipe and an elbow before the baro. Just curious what others are getting for temps with stokers, hand feds,
and boilers.

I believe I run around 250* normally.

This morning, at full stoke, the flue pipe was 128* before the baro and 87* after. It's also 32* outside. I'm sure if was -32* my temps would be double.
My flue pipe temp on a Harman mark III is usually 200* - 225* while on a steady burn. This is measured with a mag thermometer located about 18" from the rear exhaust port below the baro.
My temp after the baro only runs about 25* less. My baro is in a T, faces forward, is ~30" above and ~8" off to the right from the stove which probably accounts for the small temp difference since it is taking some of the warmer air rising from the stove into it.
Its been warm here the last couple days (65* F today!! bring on Spring...time to get out the clubs!!), so I have let the stove go out for a cleaning and can't give current, up to the minute temps.

On the OUTSIDE of the pipe?
Full burn, mine runs around 200-250 on the INSIDE of the Pipe before the chimney breach after the baro.

An interesting point to consider, for someone who has marginal chimney draft and wants to keep flue temps a little higher. I think my temps are 80* or so cooler above the baro.titleist1 wrote:My temp after the baro only runs about 25* less.
