Yeah, the closest I found so far are comments saying it doesn’t get that hot. It doesn’t really put my mind at ease. I do trust the German oven accessory suppliers though, so I have asked them for advise, and they came back with a list of items that they say will do the job.
I had read something similar, that the double walled flue by design is supposed to heat as this does facilitate the draw for the flow of the smoke. The flue has 30mm of insulation, although I don’t know yet exactly what sort of insulation it is. There is supposed to be 60mm clearance from combustibles according to what I read here in Germany, so the hole in the sheeting needs to be big enough to allow for that.
This is what I have been recommended to use. WIth this fitted, the flu doesn’t touch the sheeting it passes through, and there is air space under the top cap to allow for heat dissipation. I will ask the supplier if it’s also worth filling that space with insulation, or better to leave it unfilled.
I’m still curious about that flue temp though, gonna find out eventually. I’m trying to plan for every thing to avoid unexpected issues, problems, and unwanted costs.
