This is where generalizations can get me in trouble, so in all cases, consult your owners manual. If you can't find yours, try searching the manufacturers web site. In many cases you can find download a copy of the instructions for free.

I only have a thermometer on my chimney.I turn on my combustor at 500 degrees, and leave it burn overnight. The temperature must drop below 500 degrees. Is the combustor still working, or am I plugging it up with low temperatures? Thanks for your help. Mike Where is the 1000 degrees measured?
