Flu temp vs. Stove temps

[Treacherous]

Easy install yes, but I found that even though I drilled a perfectly straight hole, the pipes will expand at different rates. When cool, probe is as straight as a nail, but when the pipes heat up, the outer expands one bit and the inner another, at different rates causing the thermo to tilt a bit.

Guess I was lucky... I don't see that behavior with mine.

I don't see that behavior with mine either

You're not alone Backwoods . . . I am constantly straightening out my probe thermometer and then slowly and surely it turns and is not level . . . it's not enough to put me over the edge, but I'm always fixing it so it is "level."

Mine is starting to get little slices in the probe from the pressure of the pipe. Hopefully the probe holds up
