Flue Gas Temp

I have a Burnham V8 oil fired steam boiler. Above the combustion chamber between sections, the flue chanels are populated with 1000's of protruding heat catching pins.

What might be the temp of the gasses flowing through these pin populated channels?

    Depending on where you measure in relation to the active flame, somewhere between upwards of 1500 Fahrenheit and 400 or so.

    It is about 12" above the flame area up a narrow channel close to the canopy assembly which catches and steers the exhaust gas to the vent pipe where it exits the boiler.

    Depending on the burner, draft and other things, net exhaust stack temperature should be between 350°-450°.
    What does the combustion analysis says the temp is?
