I bougth a $10 rutland thermometer yesterday and realize it's worthless on the front of my insert. I was thinking of leaving it inside the insert on one of my andiron posts to be read through the glass. I know the Rutland packaging says teh magnet will weaken at temperatures over 800 degrees F, but it seems to be useless on the outside.
It seems like a decent way to read the inside air temps.
Bad idea (environmentally thinking) because I might burn the paint?
Thoughts?
