Hi,
On the advice of another forum member I stared calibrating the temperature probe on our Lopi Flex 95 Cat woodstove. There's a picture of the scale below. Their is a shaped rod that goes through the face of the stove and sticks into the catalytic converter. The rod (I suppose)transmits the heat to the bi-metallica spring behind the gauge on the exterior which in turn, moves the pointer.
Using our kitchen stove I heated it to 200F. It was indicating 380F. I twisted the face around so it would read 200F and put it back into the stove and raised the stove temp to 300F. Now it's reading 700F !! This after it had already been adjusted down 180F That means at and actual 300F it would have read 880F.
Can they actually be this far off or am I doing something completely stupid?? (Wouldn't be the first time!!)
Thanks,
