Got my IR gun this weekend and put it to work right away. Found that 2 of my rutland thermometers were pretty well dead on as far as temps. What I am finding though is that the left front of the stovetop is always around 75° cooler than the right side. I checked the insulation and it is laying up there as it should be. I also found the very center of the stovetop will run 125° hotter than the right front corner. I'm assuming this is normal from the heat being sucked toward the flue collar?
Right now I am using the hot corner as an indicator to when I start shutting down the air as it seems to coinside with flue temps getting to where I want them. If I went with the cooler corner my flue temps would be well into the over burn spectrum.
Am I on the right track? Suggestions? Thanks.
