I'm new to the site and have a question for you wood burning pro's. I have an encore 2n1 which I have been burning in cat mode. My question is, where should I put the thermometer on the stove top? I have heard on the griddle, but have also heard directly behind the griddle on the stove top. The reason I ask is there is a noticeable temp difference between the two spots. Also what have you guys noticed the best temp to run this stove at for good heat, but not damage the stove. Thanks for any feedback.
