This is with the internal check only partially opened. I’ve had the barrel down past 150. Granted, it takes several hours for it to idle down. The beauty is she’ll spark right up once the dampers are opened!
Ok, I thought you were going to say 100* or something. I've had the 50-93 down into the 175-200 range in the spring. Right now I want to burn up all the scraps that would cost me 10 cents a lb if I hauled them to the landfill.

Looking at the weather I lit the stove last night and it looks like I’m going to have to keep it lit this time.
