Hello all. After several people from a prior post advising me to get a stove thermometer, I did. I purchased a Rutland thermometer below is the one I purchased from Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/Rutland-701-S...458&sr=8-1&keywords=rutland+stove+thermometer
I have a Lopi Freedom Bay insert and as most of you know the cook top surface is not all that large, however this is where I mounted the thermometer. I have been getting some very high readings, like 500 degrees with only a coal bed or a very minimal flame. It has read 400 degrees and when I went to reload it took longer than I would have thought to restart. Just curious if others out there have used this device and what your thoughts were on it. I am new to the stove world (2 weeks) and love this site and the feedback I have received. Thanks again in advance everyone. Marc
