Condar seems to be the best. I believe that is what Woodstock sells and we have 2 of them. We've tried others but just too much variance in them.
I did check ours with the IR gun and the come about 13 degrees apart which is not bad. The Rutlands were over 100 degrees off.

Same here. Seems to read about 100* lower than my Rutland did. With the fires I've had, with a pretty good load of wood, I'd get my Rutland reading 750*. With the same loads, my Condar reads around 650*. Still haven't loaded the stove up as full as I could, though, so I'm sure I will get higher temps read from the Condar eventually.
I stuck the Rutland on the flue pipe, for now.
I've been very happy with my Condar thermometers . . . cannot say if my probe thermo is accurate or not, but I know the magnetic thermo is very close to the same temp I get with the IR thermometer.
