Valiant Magnetic Log Burner & Stove Thermometer-Red, 63mm

Product Information

The optimum position is on the flue collar, or if not practical, as close to the collar as possible for a stable reliable place for monitoring the stove and flue gas temperature . Place the Thermometer on the top, front, or side of a flat or curved surface. The built-in magnet will maintain its hold on steel up to temperatures of around 800°F (425°C). The robust design and strong magnet of the Stove Thermometer means that it’s suitable for use on any hot steel or iron surface, including stoves, BBQ, ranges, patio heaters, flue pipes or chimineas.

If a wood stove is burning at too low of a temperature, then then the wood may be struggling to burn, producing more smoke and generating less heat.If you have a stovepipe thermometer it will need to be placed somewhere on the stovepipe that’s protruding out the top of your wood stove. See our guides on how to use the vents to control a wood burning stove and how to use a wood burning stove for more information on how to operate a wood stove for the most efficient burn for maximum heat. Wood stove thermometers are small and relatively inexpensive devices, typically round in shape, that can provide an indication of the temperature that an operating wood stove is burning at. A wood stove thermometer is therefore a great piece of kit that you can use to help understand how well you’re using your stove for each fire. Types Of Wood Stove Thermometer

Understanding what a wood stove fire should look like, the maximum and minimum amount of wood you should be putting in your particular model of stove, and how much air your allowing to the fire can be more important than solely relying on what a stove thermometer reads. What Is The Best Wood Stove Thermometer?These types of thermometers are required for double-wall stovepipes as the standard stovepipe thermometers are only suitable for single-wall stovepipes, as a double wall can affect the readings. A stove thermometer should therefore be used as one piece of the puzzle to helping you to understand how well and efficiently you’re operating a wood stove. A wood stove can be operated without a stove thermometer but can be useful in helping the user to understand how efficiently a fire inside the stove is burning. A stove thermometer can help prevent a stove from over firing or being underutilized.

Running a wood stove at too high temperatures can lead to premature damage of the stove, such as to the baffle plate. We place our stove top thermometer on the edge of the top surface of our multi fuel stove so that we can keep an eye on the temperatures. As a result, wood stoves can take different amounts of wood and the controls may affect the burning performance in different ways.

Each model of wood stove is designed, built, and operated differently, and they can come in a range of sizes and heat output depending on your needs. Some models of thermometer, especially the lower cost ones, may not have been calibrated as accurately as the more expensive units from reputable manufacturers and may give a false indication of temperature and efficiency of fires. Unless stated otherwise (either in the title or description of the product), you should assume that a wood stove thermometer will be the stovepipe type as this can be the most common type. A wood stove thermometer should be used as a guide to understand how well a fire inside the stove is burning. A fire should be burning at temperatures indicated to be within the most optimum temperature range shown on the thermometer. By placing a wood stove thermometer in the correct location on the stove, it will display an indication of the current temperature that the stove is burning. This information can help the user to understand whether the stove is burning too hot or too cold.

Wood stove thermometers should always be used in their designated placement, which we discuss below. Wood Stove Thermometer Placement A wood stove thermometer is a small non-electric thermometer that provides a reading of the temperature that the stove is burning at. Wood stove thermometers typically provide an optimum temperature range on the dial in which to aim for.
