Hope to burn my first cautious fire in the Econoburn 150 this weekend. I am looking for cheap options to measure the temperature of my 500gal storage tank. My thought is something with a probe that I can bury in the spray foam with a short wire to a display attached to the outside of the foam. I would just place two or three of these at different locations on the tank. Sources? Brick and mortar preferred, I'm not that old but I'm not real hip to ordering online!
Also what do I use for stack temp? Just one of the traditional looking round temp gauges?
One more embarrassing question - my pressure/temp gauge on the side of the boiler was damaged in shipping. I forgot about it until I filled the boiler tonight and it was leaking. I tightened it up and it stopped leaking but it reminded that it is busted. To replace this do I need to drain my system down to that level?
Thank you in advance, and thank you for next week's help (when I am laughing at myself like infinitymike)
