Greetings everyone. New burner here. I want to thank the webmaster and everyone else for creating such an informative site. I frequent a number of message boards but this is definitely one of the best I have ever found.
I have done nothing but read old posts for the past month or so. As a result of this obsessive behavior, a Hampton 300 woodstove got itself installed on my raised stone fireplace hearth with an insulated 316 SS liner going about 22 feet up the exterior masonry chimney, with block-off plate, etc., etc. So I guess I have all of you people to blame for the 72 degree temperature I am now suffering with even though it is 3 degrees outside. My obsession has now extended to downed trees, woodshed designs...I could go on but I will get to my question.
The stove is well out on the hearth and vents from the rear. There is about 2 feet of pipe running horizontally back to a T and then the liner goes straight up the chimney. There is only about 1 foot of liner accessible before reaching the block-off plate.
With this set-up, where is the best place for a magnetic flue pipe thermometer. I can't get 18" above the stove. Should it be on the vertical flex liner? Or on top of the horizontal pipe?
I also await with interest Condar's response to the pending question about its thermometers.
Thanks in advance.
