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

Product Information

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. 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. Running a wood stove at too high temperatures can lead to premature damage of the stove, such as to the baffle plate. Place the Valiant Stove pipe Thermometer on the top, front or side, on a flat or curved surface. The built in magnet will maintain its hold on to steel up to temperatures of around 800°F (425°C).

Allow slightly more air into the stove using the vent(s), ensuring that you’re not allowing too much air in, and temperatures go above optimum. Stovepipe thermometers for wood burning stoves should only be placed on the front of the stovepipe and placed a certain distance up the stovepipe in line with the manufacturer’s guidelines. Stove top thermometers should only be placed on the top surface of a wood stove. 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.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. Wood burning stoves should always be operated as per the manufacturer’s guidelines and best burning practices but adding too much or too little wood, or allowing too little or too much air into the stove, at any one time can affect how efficient the fire is burning and how much heat is being produced.
