So since I have two stoves I bought a second guage. My previous CDW had a temp guage built into the trivot above the cat. But this new (to me) VC Resolute Acclaim doesn't have one so I picked up a 2nd one at the hardware store,
Of course I realize an $8.00 spring thermometer isn't going to be too accurate, but I questioned the old one's readings on the VC since they seemed so high.
So anyway, of course I put them side by side, and it didn't surprise me to see a major temp reading difference. Now I wonder which one is right. Also, I think the temp difference is even greater at the top end of the scale. Like 200'F difference when up in the 700+ range.
Is there anyway to calibrate one of these. How much does a temp gun cost? Maybe I can use it on the Harley too!
