I recently bought a englander NC-30 (thanks hearth forums). The installation is in the basement of a cape style house. I spend 95% of my time on the upper 2 floors so I found myself checking on the woodstove once every half an hour when burning even though I am getting 6+ burn times. I determined a easy solution would be to install a security camera aimed directly at the fire. The camera was around 60 dollars and has led powered infrared night vision. So even if there isn't any flames you can still see approx amount of heat being produced through the window. I just installed this today and am thinking it'll save me 100 trips up and down the stairs next winter. The attached pictures show what it looks like in normal vision, night vision, and also what the camera looks like.
