I've read all the threads on the Condar probe thermometer and the wacky readings (thanks to all the great work the "experimenters" did; truly wonderful of you guys!).
However, as a newbie, I'm more confused than ever. I'm getting very LOW readings on my Condar on a double wall pipe 18" above the stove. Just bought a Rutland today and put it on my stove top and it's reading hotter than the probe!! Almost by 200 degrees! Here are my questions:
1. Positioning. For the Rutland, since I DO NOT HAVE SINGLE pipe, i need to put it on the stove not the piping ( I have a Lennox Canyon ST310). Where is best placement? Side? Center of ledge? Closer to pipe ledge?
2. Accuracy. Who do I believe, Rutland stove top temps or Condar double pipe temps?
As a newbie, I've very afraid of over or underfiring, and I'm not adept enough to "read the flames" yet.
Thanks in advance for all your wisdom!
