BeGreen said:Very interesting Pen. I have not touched my thermometer. It went from factory to flue, so this does make one wonder about calibration of these units. It may need to be checked against a reference probe like WES999's if you want the actual factual temps.
Todd said:Pull it out of the pipe an inch Pen. Mine reads right in line with Woodstocks thermocouple tests, so i'm leaving mine that way.
4000 hour life just sounds wrong but if Condar says so maybe Begreens probe is past it's prime? Oops, left Begreen open on that statement. :lol:
Highbeam said:That pyro for your truck costs about 150-200$. These flue meters are 15-20$. That's where accuracy can be compromised.
BeGreen said:There are some alternatives, but we don't have a lot of comparison data on them yet:

Based on this being a perennial question I think I will buy one of each and test them vs the old style Condar 3-19 thermometer this fall.
Interesting alternatives. I like the last one.BeGreen said:Sounds good chief. I'm finding some other alternatives as I search farther afield. Some may need adapting:
