I just ordered a cheap one off Amazon. It is supposed to be here tomorrow. Depending on what the infrared thermometer says I may return this stove top one and get one that goes directly into my stovepipe. It seems that may be the consensus here. Is there any advice for where to install the probe in the stove pipe? Especially if I plan to add a damper to the pipe later down the road?
There should be directions on the new probe meter. I've read between 18 and 24" above the stove.
