I'm looking for a simple, black face probe thermometer to measure the flue gases - on double wall pipe. The problem is that all the ones I find are orange and red. I did however come across some catalytic thermometers that look pretty snazzy. Will they work? I have no experience with a cat stove so I'm in the dark on this one.
 
I think the cat probes may be calibrated a little different than the flue probes?
