    Now the colder season starts in the northern hemisphere and I am interested how hot a woodstove can go, I measured the temperature of glowing embers when blown with forced draft by a barbecue blower.
    My girlfriend operated the blower as I already used both hands, one with the pyrometer and the other with the camera.
    Just for curiosity: how hot can a wood fire go ?

    I got 1050 - 1100 C when pointing an IR pyrometer to the hot embers.

    Did anyone try this ?
