I need a thermometer

[karl]

I'm getting ready to order a thermometer for my Summit Insert. The only thermometer I could find locally was the Rutland stove thermometer. It is too big to fit in the corner of my stove by the door. Would some of the PE Insert guys tell me what brand of thermometer they have that will fit my insert? It seems the online stores don't post the diameter of the thermometers.

Thanks.

Condar and Homesaver thermos will fit there. They are the same thermo with different names on them. Much smaller than Rutlands.

My PE Pacific fits the Rutland. See link with photo. Got to imagine the mighty Summit will fit it.!

Thanks.

Why is it most thermometers place the top of the burn zone at 475 degrees? I thought 500-600 was where you should be?

The thermos and the ranges on them are made for use on single wall stove pipe. The readings on them are usually around half of what the internal flue gas temps are.

They just get adopted for stove top use or, in the case of insert, stove front use.
