Started my D.S. 1600 today. After things settled out, the stove temp is 425*. Stack temp is 75*. Those numbers are quite good. I'm running without the hopper. Try it, I think you'll like it.
I tried it without the hopper last year. It did work well in terms of hotter stove temps...but i had issues with long burn times. Possibly due to mine being smaller? Bu the time i get off work it is about 13ish hours from my morning tending. I had issues getting and keeping it going due to it burning a lot of the coal up.

I do not have a thermometer on the stack. I just use an infrared thermometer to check it with. The straight section going straight up, is about 4' and that tends to stay 225ish, then it takes a 90 and goes to the left about 3' and it is about 140 on the top most part before it exits into the chimney. I was told (or read somewhere on here) that the temps inside the pipes are generally double the reading that you will get on the pipe outside. I figure if im sending 500 degree heat out the back before it turns to the chimney and ultimately cools to 300 or so, i am wasting a lot and need to conserve it better.
I installed probe style thermometer's into both of my stoves. Hitzer 50-93 and 30-95 and the center internal temp vs. the exterior temp is double. 250* on the surface and 125* inside. Crazy part is when you open up the stove and the internal temp climbs like a speedometer verse the exterior barely moving.
