Operating temperature of a honey stove?

[mountainm]

Anyone have any idea how hot the walls of a honey stove get when used as a wood burner? I am looking to try modding my stove with neodymium magnets but they have a working max temperatue of 80 deg C so I think I may be wasting my time.

I would say parts of them would get above 80 deg C, the top half of it.

Flick water at it, if it sizzles 100+ ?

looks like an excuse to light a fire!

I'd have thought it'd get to several hundred degrees, I know my hobo stove frequently glows red when in use.

I have found some magnets that are good up to 300 degs C

The stove walls will get a lot hotter than 80 degrees with a good fire. What's with the magnets anyway?

Neodymium magnets are super strong and very small - I wanted to get rid of the fiddly slot in attachment mechanism and just use magnets - found some Neodymiums that go to 500 deg C. Not good enough?

If they're good for 500 degrees C they'll be OK for temperature, but what about water ingress? Rare earth metals are very susceptible to water damage (like ferro rods, the active ingredients in them are rare earth too), so rare earth magnets are usually plated with nickel or something like that. The plating won't keep moisture out indefinitely and then your magnet will be, er, toast.

How about using ordinary magnets?

PS austenitic stainless isn't very good at sticking to magnets.

Wanted to use the strongest/smallest magnets I could for safety reasons given it needs to hold up a pot of boiling water. Will be testing stability shortly, but some of these will pull 2kg - they're also triple coated.

Why don't you drill holes in the corners of the panels and join them together with keyrings?

where's the fun in that!

I would say that even 500 deg still could over heat

just as an aside is the honey stove magnetic ???

 

[mountainm]

finding out tomorrow before I shell out for the magnets

I just checked my Honey Stove. It's not ferromagnetic.
