My stove top temp is a lot lower than what I read in the firebox. I use a hand held digital laser reader from Harbor freight. Are they accurate or not.
The Hottest my stove top reads with this hand held is 325 and in the fire box it is at about 600. I am wondering why the big difference and why can I not get my stove top hotter. I do use a fan that does blow over the stove top and I have read this will lower the stove top temp..
I have a blanket on top of my top fire brick. Manuel says to use and I do check for damage when I clean the stove. Does this have anything to do with a lower stove top temp..
What I am wondering is are these hand helds as accurate as the temp meters that stay on stove top or on chimney pipes. Does the blanket lower the stove top temps..
